Hi! Oh fab, first step towards getting a place- well done! No I've not heard back, I sent my application off on 15th September! When did you hear from them? I am getting so anxious!


Don't panic too much - my sister send her application off only a week or so after mine and she hasn't heard back either, UCLan get so many applicants it probably takes them ages to allocate test days/interviews :smile:

Hiii nd finally well done for getting through the first stage !! I have the same question I have no idea what it is or how to prepare for it at all. Im so nervous as it is as in the past my weakness has been my maths.But this Knowledge test will really knock me back. And my date is the 13 of November but as I have an exam that day, I have rearranged it but will hear back on monday for the next available date.

I very much doubt they will give you further information- someone asked about the literacy and numeracy tests at the open day I attended and they said keeping up to date with current nursing issues and going on websites with similar content to BBC Bitesize (I'm guessing like GCSE level) to practice would be a good idea.

Personally I think the literacy/ nursing knowledge is most likely going to be a question about something like the 6 Cs of nursing, NHS core values or what you know about the NMC and code of conduct.

Good luck :smile:

Hi mine was in 2 weeks too but I had to extend and have it later. Please let me know how it goes also remember the nursing knowledge test too . congrats and good luck !!
Hi everyone. I really need some help. I've have the test day on Wednesday like a few of you guys. I've gone to check my emails and the email is gone? I know its 12.30 til 4.30, but I can't remember much else from the email. Is there any chance someone can tell me what we need to bring with us? Is it just pens and a calculator? Also what building is it? I screen shotted the map but not the building. I can't believe it. This sort of thing could only happen to me :-( x

Stop stressing. It is only to check you can write coherently in English and with fairly decent grammar. Its nothing scary.
