PGCE Applications 2016

thanks mate! i was originally thinking about this but my personal opinion is that too much tests isn't a good thing.. what if the interview may not disagree with my view.. that could put me in a bad position? i don't know

I stated my opinion that it was too much testing having baseline, KS1 phonics screenings, KS1 nationalised testing and Yr6 SATs - but gave a balanced argument - and the interviewer said he agreed with me completely!

Why not discuss both sides... Say what it is, why they are doing it and what the outcomes would hope to achieve?

Then state things like why test for younger children is a bad thing...

A lot of us have got to know each other over the past few months and have been wondering how old everyone is?

I'm 28 (also my name is Kai and not Lambert)

Thanks for the examples! I'll also give a balanced view But I should cement my view in the end even though if I give a balanced view?

Hi, I am a bit confused about School-Direct(unsalaried) . Does this route involves only one school during your whole course?

So looking back on all my practice tests - I've got above the pass mark (it's 63% right?), it seems my area to improve on is punctuation (of all sections!) anyone got any online thing to read up on punctuation for tonight please that will help me?

Remember that there are 15 marks so there should be 15 things for you to correct.

Check out the steve's learning site for more help on punctuation and the literacy tests. You will need to sign up but it's free.

Personally, I think if you didn't give your own opinion, you might be seen to not fully have engaged with the issue/not have shown that you really care about it.

haha yeah I try to do the obvious stuff first - full stops and capitals, then go back and try to figure out the rest. However I somehow struggle with that which is odd!

I got 80% overall on my last practice, doing well in spelling, grammar and comprehension, however all it will take is a few tough spellings, grammar or comprehension questions to throw my mark down a lot!

Yeah they can be a but obscure sometimes.

Steve's Learning has stuff for all of the literacy test, including links to Quizlet sets to help you learn likely words.

I've got to go through the comprehension help on there myself because I scored much lower than everywhere else for that.
