Adult Nursing, London Based Uni's

Hi, I have been through test days at greenwich and LSBU Havering now in respect of London Unis and passed both. greenwich I found much easier than LSBU. I'm doing an access course and the maths questions were much harder at LSBU than we had prepared!! Alot of people on the test day for LSBU failed I have heard. The English test at LSBU I found incredible easy. I have read through many threads on here saying how basic the maths test was but I've been to four test days at London and essex Uni's and LSBU was by far the hardest Maths one! People were sighing through the exam and I couldn't be sure that I'd achieved the 7/10 that is required. I'm being interviewed next week for LSBU, so fingers crossed...[/QUOTE

Oh wow!!!!!!
That's just shaken me up a bit !
What was it that made it difficult besides the fact it's non calculator ?

At Greenwich, I'd say it was mainly basic maths, for example if you want to go on holiday and for an adult it costs £xxx and for a child it costs £XXX then what would it cost a family of 2 adults and 2 children. Also, looking at the bus timetable below, what time does the bus arrive at xx station. At LSBU the questions were worded in such a way that they could be misinterpreted. It began with fractions which weren't too bad, then ratios, if you go onto SNAP NHS practice questions (google it) the questions were very similar. I'd practised these for Essex Uni but only with a calculator, so was very surprised that you had to calculate them without one at LSBU! At college we had practiced the old multiple choice papers that LSBU used last year. All I can say is practice long multiplication and division as much as you can! I know we are at all different standards at Maths, but I've just passed my GCSE equivalent and this was harder. Please read the question over and over and this is where alot of people fell down. Sorry to worry anyone, but I wish someone has told me this before I went. However, I did pass and found out about 2 hours later on track.

Am going to selection day tests at Kingston on 31st too. Not heard from the others getting really nervous.

Does anybody know if the 'test day' at LSBU is just the maths and English tests and the interview at a later date or is the interview on the same day? I have one this Friday for Adult Nursing...

Hey Philippa

Just wanted to know how your tests went at LSBU. How was it, maths ? English ?

Please let me know as I have my test this Friday
Thanks

Thanks. Seemed to go okay. Just need to wait now to see if I get an offer.

Oh great advice thanks!!
I've used snap a lot since Middlesex advices it and there was a question on there that came up in the lsbu sample paper which puzzled me abit considering it looked like something that needed a calculator.

I mean there's only so much we can do and that's just to keep practising, but thanks for your tips and advice. good luck with you interview and keep us posted !!

Hi, were you at the kings selection day last Wednesday? If so, have you heard anything back yet? I am so anxious!! I just want to know either way but I suppose no news is good news x

Not heard yet......hope to hear soon, the waiting I skinning me ;-)

I had my interview today. It was very relaxed. The lady went through my tests results with me plus the mendas test. Questions were scenario based. Was there for 4 hours though hanging around! Last hurdle - just waiting to hear now!

i applied to do adult nursing at kings, LSBU, greenwich, city and UWE (random). Out of those i have only heard back from LSBU and Greenwich. Ive done the tests at both and LSBU much harder than greenwich! i scrapped through with 7/10 which i was told on my interview. I have an offer from LSBU for adult which i got within half an hour of the interview. I am waiting to hear back from greenwich following my selection day last wednesday. The maths was easy and as long as you plan your answer to the english and structure it well, that was also easy. Greenwich is my first choice so im praying to hear from them soon
