Need to wait till May for Beds in terms of getting an offer or not (my first choice).
I have done the numeracy & literacy for Middlesex last Wednesday, so I am waiting to hear back for interview.

Bedfordshire tests were very straightforward, much easier than others I have done. The English was 20 minutes, a mix of question exercises and one that allows you to write about a topic. The Maths was 30 minutes in length and only 10 questions - not very difficult either which is a bonus, non calculator.

Most of them were show examples of a time you did X, either skill or a scenario based question. We were called up one by one by a variety of interviewers, when some of the candidates came back they shared the kind of questions with us, most were example ones others were not. So seems there was a bit of variety - you are only asked 4 questions.
I'm afraid I can't share much more with the interview questions. But nothing overly difficult if you have experience in care.

Wow that's so long! But I'm sure we've done fine!! It's my insurance choice so not stressing too much but would hopefully like to get in. Good luck to you and let me know if you hear anything x

Yes, it is my first choice so quite a shame it's unlike other universities who give offers out here and there - would mean we could relax sooner! Will be a long wait but what is done is done :smile:

Who is your firm choice?

Have you had an email and sent off some documents? If so, have they responded that they received them?

Me and my friend both had got the confirmation email in December also, and both of us have already been interviewed so this seems a bit odd - unless they are very close to contacting you for interview I would email them just to find out and be on the safe side.
