I've already emailed mine once today 
I'm going to have to rebook my skills tests if she doesn't do it by Sunday...
I'm going to have to rebook my skills tests if she doesn't do it by Sunday...What did you say? Just explained about the skills test?
How do you know if you referees complete their references? Do you get an email?

How can I send something on the start date when I have no school experience?
I'm confused.

Yeh. I mean, I did ask her two weeks ago for the reference, and said it would be sent to her on the 21st. So I just politely asked her if she could complete it by Sunday so I could take my tests on Monday. No reply! I know she's really busy, and I said that I understand... but IM IMPATIENT!!!!

Yeh, you get one email when they agree to do the reference, and one when they do it.

Yeah you get 2 emails, one saying they've accepted being the reference request. Then you will get a second saying they have submitted it

That's exactly what I did. I think if we were allowed to just get the teacher to do it and not the head, mine would have gone by now. I'm just waiting on him, he seems a bit slow and forgetful 
. May give them a nudge if it gets towards late next week.
. May give them a nudge if it gets towards late next week.Frustrating right? I'm waiting for my academic reference now, the other one was done within a couple of hours!
Copied and pasted over my personal statement and it was so many lines over! UGH. I've basically had to delete two whole paragraphs I think it still reads okay but I'm sad that I had to get rid of a lot of my hard work to make it fit...

You don't. Or you put the dates of when you are going to start. It's not just for school experience, it's for employment (paid and voluntuary) as well.
I meant the PGCE application. I want to get it in early but I haven't t got the time to do some experience now.

Oh okay. So I just write something like this for my personal statement:
''I will begin my school experience post-January''.
The end.
Thank you jeffercake and miss_disney

I've just realised I put 'ordinary' for degree instead of 'honours' and now I can't change it, how much of a problem is this going to be?

A massive one - you can't apply with an ordinary degree as it's below a third! Call UCAS and get it fixed.

You write about why teaching, how you know teaching is for you, other experiences that will make you a great teacher and anything else that applies. There's guidance in the personal statement section of this website

Should I enter my disability mentor as a character reference as she probably knows me best or, do I ask the chairperson of the learning disability group that I work at? I'm the deputy treasurer, so is there enough of a "gap" between our roles for her to be a good choice? I haven't spoken to her for quite a while as there's been a falling out in the group and I'm unsure if she's okay with me now.
I could use my the leader of the National Citizen Service group that I volunteered with over the summer or the leader of the entire scheme in my city. I really don't know what to do

Contact the individual universities. Be honest and say you accidentally selected the wrong option and it'll be okay. Did it ask you to add your degree class?

Yes it did but I put 'pending' as I haven't got it yet.
Do you think if my reference is going to write my predicted grade they will get it?
I will contact them as well obviously.

Can we make changes to our applictaion after the refernces fill?

Nope. You can't make them even once you've sent it - well only to the choices.
I've done everything I can, just waiting for my second reference now. Like most of you my academic tutor was very fast but my Headteacher hasn't accepted yet - I know he's very busy but its so frustrating! Will politely check in on Monday that he got the email as a prompt
Noticed only after I can't change it that I accidentally entered one module twice but hoping that won't be a massive problem.
