I have an old University of Michigan English certificate.
To have a certificate is very important for who wants to study abroad, because is mandatory to be admitted in those universities.
To have an international certificate is very important if you want to study abroad. But if you live in Sweden, like me, and you studied English level B in Sweden, you don´t need to present an international certificate.

To me it's really important because I intend to take a "graduação-sanduíche" in Biotechnology. I still at high school, but I think that I know exactly which way I will go pass through... I mean, I already know what I want, and an international certificate make part of my fate. :P
