I've heard roughly 30 places but last year they only took 24??!! I'm more worried about the interview bit than the test at the moment, scared they'll ask me something really specific about education that I don't know a lot about or something......

As long as we revise those topics they say in the letter we should all be okay! I've heard they can be tough so if we all just be prepared for it. I hope they're nice 🙈

Hey! Good luck, I'm so scared. Don't know what to expect. I heard one year they asked a girl to make up a story on the spot. Have any of you heard anything similar? I was told also they change the essay questions every day so people can't tell each other! This is like a military operation 😂

Hi everyone! Im getting really nervous now! I just know im never going to feel prepared enough. Ive never heard anything about making a story up on the spot!! That would be horrrible! Im so worried about the maths task...

Perhaps the making a story up on the spot was for the written task and it was probably just to check spelling & grammar etc!

Good luck everyone. It'll be over before we know it! 10 minutes will fly in for the formal interview. It'll probably only amount to 4/5 questions!

Also I've heard the maths is just like p7 maths basically, my friend did it last year and she told me to learn long division, long multiplication and basically p7 maths. I wouldn't worry about it we will be able to do it ☺️

Yes, 2 min per question, 5 questions would realistically take you over the 10 min so I reckon it will be 4 questions max :-) anyone I've asked about the maths has assumed it would be key stage 2 level maths so fingers crossed!!

Yea Iv just heard the same about maths questions, you will be asked to write about a topic for the English but apparently not to stress too much about it, it's more to look at your grammar and spelling etc. A friend told me the questions in his interview were pretty basic, about how your degree relates to the PGCE and your previous experience etc! You'll be fine. Relax and be yourself! It will fly in, only 10mins!

Eek don't say that cc! Was it harder than ks2 level? I'm expecting prime numbers, long multiplication/division, finding area of shapes, reading bar graphs.....was it worse than that?! How many questions were you asked in your interview? Im expecting about 4 due to time limits? X

No they weren't any harder than ks2 but I felt they were designed to trip you up. I def messed mine up. Interview was fine. Engine also fine. I got asked 5 questions for interview x
