Nor have they acknowledged mine!

So excited to see if I've got and interview. Still weirdly don't feel assured despite the fact that I'm over the UMS threshold.
what did everyone put in the extra personal statement part of the SAQ?
(my mum keeps telling me to show my personality but I don't know how)
On the email queens sent they asked for Head Teachers name and the address of the school. Should I put down my director of Sixth Forms name since my head teacher rarely has anything to do with Sixth Form?

Regarding the saq, I am self teaching a2 fm so do I still need to list the topics I will have covered by December? As I'm not sure how much I will have done by then.

Not sure if you have to or not, if you are going to, I'd just play it safe and only put small things that you know you will have completed. Anything you don't put you know they can't ask you :P

Just did a timed TSA as practice. Oh my :frown:

Anyone know what a "good" or "competitive" score is? Past test-takers/current students - your input is appreciated :tongue: With just a handful of days left till the exam I'm not sure what to do!

Wait, when do we take the exam?
Is it the same time as the interview?

I got confirmation from Durham on Wednesday (and had several problems trying to submit an alternative PS!), though it's probably different for each department.
Saw some questions of when the fee status etc form has to be sent by; for King's it's Nov 6th. Not sure about other colleges but possible around the same time.

Pardon me if I'm wrong, but I presume then you're applying from out of the UK? When's your interview?

Is sending of written work in early november, along with the other forms, all acceptable or do you think it's too late
Any tips for the optional PS because I'm really struggling to think about things to write about. I don't want to leave it blank :confused:
