PGCE 2014 Applications (NOT FOR SPECIFIC INTERVIEW TASK DISCUSSIONS)

For those of you who have to prepare a presentation, will you be using some form of notes to help remember what to say? I don't whether I should or not :/

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has a back up plan? I've been investing so much time into the PGCE application and the hope I'll get onto one, then my mum asked me what I plan to do if I don't get in. I mean I will most likely try again, but I don't have a back up plan in the mean time. That's only just hit me I have no idea what I'll do otherwise!

Feeling much better about the numeracy test now I've been practising on the extra tests you pay for (not sure what it's called!) still nervous about failing though!! :/

It depends how best you think you can deliver the presentation. Looking down at notes makes someone seem to lack confidence and authority, and for me can often trip me up if I lose my place. I won't be using notes myself, but can see how they could be helpful. The best piece of advice I was given was take print-offs of the slides with a few extra words on and lay them out next to the computer (if you're using powerpoint). Then when you go to change slide, if you feel a little lost you can have a quick glance.

Personally, I've been really struggling to choose a topic. What are you doing yours on?

I can't use any IT facilities and I've got to bring an artefact and explain how that can stimulate learning and interest in primary curriculum areas. I've chosen a book and have planned what I'm going to say, I just wondered whether they would look down on me having a few notes for prompts in case my mind goes blank :/ have you not been given a specific topic?

Where else have u applied for english??

Goldsmiths and UEL - I was going to apply to Kings actually lol but the small intake put me off bc im sure there are graduates (like you!) who are a million times better/more experienced than me so didn't want to waste a place lol. Congrats again though, its an amazing achievement and you should be proud of yourself regardless! Let us know how the interview goes anyway - really hope it goes well. X

Believe in yourself and i doubt very much I'm more experienced tbh but thank you for your kind words hope all your interviews go well I'm sure you'll ace them all!! And if I'm not wrong i will see you thursday at IOE??

Yes hopefully! I don't know how we'd spot each other though lol..I will probably be the awkward person staring at everyone to work out if they are you haha!!!

where can I find these practice tests in which you are paying for?
