Hey, I've got a Chemistry PGCSE interview coming up at UCL. Any idea what kind of questions they throw in during group discussions? Also, if you're cool with sharing, what was your conditional offer like? Thanks a bunch!

Questions range from why you want to teach, methods of teaching eg. are the use of practicals good for students, what skills you have that will make you a good teacher and a good candidate for the PGCE course. As my degree was not chemistry related, a condition was to complete a subject knowledge enhancement course but this won't be applicable if you're studying chemistry, biomedical sciences or any subject with at least 50% Chemistry. The other condition was for a 2:2, which is a requirement for everyone. Good luck for the interview!

Thank you, I really appreciate it! What was your lesson about and what kind of props did you use?

Hey! Well done on getting the offer! I have been invited for an interview in March for Biology PGCE. Do you have any tips for presentation?

Could I ask what subject your undergrad was in? Good luck for the PGCE!
