Applicants to Wolverhampton - Midwifery Course 2015

I was wondering whether the selection process included only the maths and English tests or whether there was anything else that happened on the day?

Does the interview take place after you have passed the selection process? What kind of things can you expect to happen at the interview? I have read about the small presentation but wondered if there were anything else to do on the day.

Thanks :smile:

I am attending the selection tests at Wolverhampton uni for midwifery on 21st jan! I emailed them to ask for more details about the tests and they said theres an essay to write and you are given the title on the day but it will be 'health related' and have to score 20/30 to pass. There is also a maths test that is 30 minutes long and there are 27 questions and you need 75% to pass this, it is a non-calculator test! if both tests are passed then an interview will be offered for a different date. Hope this helps! Good luck! xxx

They didn't mention anything about a presentation to me about the selection day, you just go to do the maths test and essay then if you pass them you will be invited for an interview on a different day so maybe your asked to do a presentation as part of the interview? I have to do a presentation about demonstrating compassion as a student midwive as part of my interview for Birmingham City xxxx

It's only a 3 minute presentation as part of the interview and you can only use cue cards, no other resources. It was on the letter attached to the invitation on ucas xxxxxx

Also a friend of mine has done the wolvo maths test and apparently found it quite hard but I'm not sure what her maths is like. But apparently she didn't pass it but still has an interview?

On the wolvo website it says as part of the interview you have to do a 3-5 minute talk to a small group and you have to take an object or image that represents at least one of the 6 C's but that's not part of the selection test day xxxxx

Hope your tests went well! I've been invited to sit the selection tests in Februaury but don't know what to expect. Did you find them difficult? How long were you there for?

Omg the maths test was hard. There's a lot of decimals, fractions, conversions and there was even a graph. Maths was 20 then straight away you do your English which was very easy essay. English was 30mins that's it. Your there only for 50mins only.

Uh oh, I need to get revising then! Thats handy to know, I thought it would be a lengthy process. Thanks!

I've already done the selection tests and passed luckily! The maths was quite hard make sure you know conversions like mm to cm, ml to l and stuff like that. The english was quite easy though! The interview does include a 3 min presentation of the 6C's it's quite relaxed though! You don't have to stand in front of them or anything. Good luck everyone!

Ive gone blank as to what image or item to take that encapsulates one of the 6c's for the 3 min presentation. Really nervous about the maths
