Foundation medicine at Leicester

Hello, I have some questions that I'd appreciate your guidance with regarding foundation medicine the A199 course

1) How do students find foundation year compared to A levels, was it manageable?
2) How are assessments set out in terms of grading and frequency?
3) Would it be better to do this foundation course if wanting help before beginning the main?
4) And with this course you need to score at least 70% according to the website, does this mean all assessments, finals or year average?
5) An ipad is given to all med students, what if i have my own already?

Thank you very much
