    Can I just ask , are you lot coming with someone (e.g group of friends) or by yourself? (Taster Day)
    I doubt anyone is coming with a group, me and my mate are in the same class and time which was a coincidence xD

    Are the taster days more like one lesson only (approximate 2 hrs) or the whole day?

    It's just one lesson unless you are applying for the International Baccalaureate in which case it's half a day. I will be sitting in the library, either desperately trying to put together an extended essay or more likely procrastinating as ever scaring you guys by talking to you as well as all the current IB Students sleep-deprived maniacs :P

    I missed the induction today by accident but I called the college and they said it was okay and continued my application.

    Could anyone tell what happened in room 329 at 9:30 am?
    And what the work was that they handed out, if anything?
    I'd really appreciate it

    6 a levels is a bit much, only do this if you are willing to revise from day 1

    and the place isn't too brilliant, the biology dept is very bad. I was doing 5 a levels then I dropped biology. It had zero relevance for what I wanted to do so no harm done.

    a lot and I mean A LOT of my friends don't agree with the biology dept too. But then again.. some people absolutely love it and their enthusiasm is somewhat fiery and they're the ones getting A*s. So it's really up to you
    What are the chances of me getting more than 3As if I go there. Is the teaching any good for; Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Maths

    You don't have to be amazing at English to do it. If by English Language you mean the subject you're fine as it is completely a Literature course. In our year group, we have people who don't speak English as their first language, including some who had only been in the country for under a year before they started the course. If you work hard at it you'll be fine

    samee, but i'm just bringing in pens, pencils (the usual stuff) and maybe a small notebook? (:confused: if you do an art subject you'll probably need art supplies later on. they might tell us what we need on friday though.

    All you really need is a pen and paper. Teachers usually gave us folders.
