PGCE 2014 Applications (NOT FOR SPECIFIC INTERVIEW TASK DISCUSSIONS)

Thank you Well done to you too, getting an interview is amazing in itself! You will be fine, just try and relax as much as you can and be friendly and welcoming The interview process is actually so nice, the interviewers are really really friendly and genuinely want you to do your best and get through. Getting an interview means they already like you and want you - the interview is just to test how you would be in an actual school/as a teacher. Hope that calms you somewhat, and let us know how it goes! Rooting for you

Hi Guys,
Who has applied for Secondary English? Where did you apply? Who has got interviews?

Me! Applied for Exeter and Chichester PGCE and then the Solent SCITT. Offers from the last two, just waiting to hear back from Exeter now! I'm wondering if anyone has heard from Exeter? Or do they like to keep us worried for as long as possible! Good luck with your application!

Got my first interview on Tuesday and I'll be so glad when it's over. I'm so nervous it's making me ill! It will impact my performance, I just know it .

This is my last choice though so I'm glad it's not my first.

Just found out I have an interview for IOE secondary English. So happy!!!!! Theres no presentation but a discussion and a short written task? Is the written task hard? Also what you think they looking for. So nervous! What you think I should do to prep!

Hi That's amazing! well done! I probably would have also done the same lol. I have applied to IOE, Oxford Brookes and Kings College for Secondary English. I have an interview at IOE on Thursday, I'm so nervous.

i'm a firm believer in 'if its meant to happen then it will'

There are plenty of articles about this on the internet, just research. Look at TES, Guardian, BBC etc. As well as the actual government documents on the changes themselves which are on the DfE website.

Thanks, I'm very happy with it. They got back to me in two days, but I get the sense I am an exception to the rule though (I'm physics with maths so have an unusual consideration process as it goes through two departments). I met someone I was interviewed with a week later at another interview, and they hadn't heard back either.

Hi Guys,
Who has applied for Secondary English? Where did you apply? Who has got interviews?

Anyone else have an interview at Derby?

Also, those with interviews at Notts Trent or Leicester, how did they inform you?

Hiya, yes I have an interview tomorrow at Derby.. and Nottingham Trent today! thy both let me know via email xx

Thanks! And good luck. :-)
My Derby interview is on Thursday. I don't know whether I am more nervous or excited!

How long, on average, do interviews last for? I am supposed to interview at Strathclyde University in the morning and then at Glasgow in the afternoon? Will this be a problem? The start times are approximately 5 hours apart.
