Everyone in your photo looks so young :-)
I think that it will be a good mix of people as they take on about 40% HE students. Do you live in London?

Had my official offer through UCAS, unconditional, means that theoretically I don't need to pass my last 2 Access to HE assignments :-)

Went to a tour around the campus today, the funny part was that the student doing the tour assumed that I was one of the parents!

Paul, thanks for the FB details, nothing personal but i only give people my FB details once I've met them, which won't be too long lol

Practice the examples on their website and you should be ok, they are the same format on the day, you can't use a calculator so practice your arithmetic

So did you pass the literacy and numeracy interview tests? See if you can get yourself a few tutorials which teach you more about how to pass the exams rather than teaching you the subject itself. So much of passing exams is technique.
Good luck, I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you

Normally the interviews are on different days unless you have a long way to travel and then they try and combine them.

The interview questions are based on your chosen career and test your common sense and general approach to life. Nothing too difficult

Hey guys!

How were the interviews for LSBU, just received an invitation for the 13th :O eeekkk - I've applied for the PgDip Child Nursing but anyone doing any branch of nursing, how were your interviews?

Also, has anyone done the interview and assessment day for Kings? Got that on the 27th, I couldn't fulfill the APL requirements for Adult or child PgDip so my interview is for the BSc Adult nursing

So nervous

But I'm really happy i've got a few weeks to prepare, especially as I have no healthcare work experience so I know i'm going to have to have a lot of well polished answers and prepare for that to come up.

Anyone else in the same position? Were there any specific requirements for the LSBU APL for those who have completed it? i.e. minimum hours of healthcare experience, etc.

Tips on any of this would be amazing

(Sorry so many questions

)
