Really? Explains their nazi GCSE views :tongue:

Ah shizzle :/ yea I think I might have to do that. I'm thinking of sitting mine just before summer holidays begin..when are you thinking of doing it?

Yeah I'm thinking mid July time probably so I have time to choice afterwards :smile:

Yep, one of the things i've realised recently is that in a lot of cases university selection makes a bigger difference than actual grades/ukcat/etc.

So i've got a fairly large shortlist of about 9 and then'll decide later based on UKCAT & A level predictions and stuff.


Awesome - I was just worried I was leaving it all a bit to the last minute :P

ahh ok gettin it over and done with quickly then? When's your test date?

I personally want to do it soon, but I also want lots of time after the exams to make sure I'm ready. I'm thinking around August.

Yeah, Ill prob try get a week at GP's and then have loads of overtime at work and save the money for a car :tongue:
Yeah, thats what I did too, I linked in maths challenge and stuff like that and volunteering. I said that I wanted to do medicine, but I am sure I want to do a BSc so this will help me with that, not sure if that was the right thing to say :redface:
Yeah I guess, I'll have a bit left if I can still get on the train for a child, probably be about £35 for the month :cool:
Good Luck for yours anyway, you'll have to let us know if you hear anything! Which region are you in? (non-stalkerish way :colondollar:)

My parents just got a new car coz the old one was a piece of crap, but they said I could have it :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: any car is a car, right? >.<
oooo intercalated BSc is a good way to put it, nice :P
HOW :O travel for me to into Central London costs me like £5 a day o.0
thanks, you too :biggrin: mebbe we'll even get the same place :cool: London, you?

Well I'm not doing it until August 28th, but we were told by our school that the dates book up quickly, so we should book quick to get the most choice, or we'll end up doing it at a really inconvenient time. I want almost the whole summer to do some UKCAT preparation, so I thought 28th August is a good time for me :smile:

Awesome! that's lucky, and true! i just want a little 1 litre, so insurance is cheap :L still gotta wait 3 months for my birthday though :redface: i thought it would be alright to put that, who knows.
My return train fare is about 2.50 for a kid, but if I get a month ticket thing its cheaper. I live near nottingham though, so quite different to London :L doubt we'd get the same place, since we're about 3 hours away from each other :redface:
