London Academy of Excellence 2013

So, I decided to make this thread.

This thread, that I have made, is for people who are applying (or already go) to LAE for 2013.
:biggrin:
I wonder how many TSRians are applying to Lae..
:confused:
I heard that there was an assesment day yesterday on the 2nd of Feb- Did anyone here go to it? How was it ?
:tongue:
My assesment day is on 9th Feb . :eek:

Thank you for your appreciation, please post.
*Tumble weed* :rolleyes:

Cool :-)

Drama? I know there's a dragons den thing, which are presentations (I think) and definately interview and test... Also this time I heard there's a Q&A.. Not sure what that is.

Do we have lunch there or ? ....

lol all I think about is food

Hey! I have my assessment day on the 9th too! I'm quite nervous to be honest!

My friends had theirs last week and they loved it. Lunch it provided by them haha. You should receive an email tomorrow outlining the activities for the day, but as the person above me said, you do dragons den, Q&A, interview and a common sense test.... So yeah!

Hey! Thanks :smile:

I got the email, seems straight forward... Hopefully the interview is okay- they said 15 mins and most colleges over estimate the time so... 10 mins ?:rolleyes: doesn't sound so long :redface:

I guess the questions will be sort of like problem solving but for everyday life, but not really mathsy ... More like riddles!:biggrin:

I don't really know to be honest because that's what I was going to wear or I might bring a cardi with me or something...
Reply 17
