I love Barts as well! I think I shall deffo apply to BATL and hmm well I have 'short list' on my mind as well :biggrin: maybe Cambridge depending on my UMS points! UCL, St. George's, Manchester, Keele and King's college. Sheffield unlikely for me unless I do exceptionally well in my UKCAT :tongue: I just love london so much :') gahhhh I have psychology test tomorrow and I am not ready :/ lol


I'm awful at UKCAT practice questions, so it doesn't bode well for the actual test! May have to rule out Newcastle and King's as well if my UKCAT doesn't go so good.

Yeah. It took a while but it's necessary! I wouldn't want one of my grandparents being looked after by someone who hadn't had their background checked :tongue:

You get CRB or disclosure certificate, probably to join PVG nowadays. You basically fill out a form with all your details and they run a computer check to prove you aren't an axe weilding child molester.

You get a CRB check. My care home arranged mine for me, so you'll have to google it to see how to do it yourself (if you can)

Ah, I heard English lit is a killer! I take psychology too! But I do maths as well with biology and chemistry :smile: I actually just had my psychology learning approach test today... I thought I did well until the last question where I misread the 8 marker. Felt like a complete idiot :angry: and good idea! I think I probably will just concentrate on my AS levels first until June where I shall be going UKCAT and BMAT mad :colondollar: lol
