BCU or UoB?

I have an interview for both, BCU on wednesday, and UoB on the 21st of Jan!

Hi,
So I've been offered a place on a PGCE course at Leicester uni with the condition that I show them my A-Level certificates within the next 3 weeks. My certificates are on order but are expected to take 4-6 weeks...does any one know whether uni's will extend the date? I'm really stressing! x

I'm sure if you email then explaining they may give you an extension, as not everyone will have copies of their certificates to hand.

Have you been for an interview at Leicester? xx

Hi friends.. M really worried. I have submitted my application but have heard only from Bcu thathe they are looking at my application. Nothing from the other two choices. Does that mean either they are closed or not gonna consider my application?? My skill tests are due next week. Worrying a lot,can't concentrate

Yay! I've been trying to revise loads but there is just so much stuff :/
I'm mainly looking at the Teachers' Standards, stuff in the news like free school meals etc, then preparing answers for questions that are likely to come up in the one-to-one interview. What about you?

When did you guys send your applications off?

and it's University of Birmingham x

Can anyone help me find a clear summary of the national curriculum 2014 for primary School, I'm weary eyed from research.
interviews tomorrow !

hi, I've passed both my skills tests, but wanted to know if we could actually find out the final score we had. All i can see is PASS

This is the new curriculum I think:

Don't worry too much about it. The interviewers aren't going to expect you to know this in detail. I spent ages reading all the numeracy and literacy sections and didn't get asked a single question about it in my interview.

Did you have to do a maths and English test at your interview? If so what sort of level would you say they are?

Has anyone had an interview at Anglia Ruskin yet? Got mine tomorrow morning and i'm really nervous

Yes I did. I'd say they were about Year 6 SATs level. If you've revised for your skills tests then you'll be fine. Maybe do a couple of past SATs as revision? For the literacy test is was questions about things like:
- active/passive verbs
- Proper/common/abstract/collective nouns
- subordinate clauses
- personal/impersonal sentences
- adverbs, connectives, prepositions etc

Essentially all the stuff you'd expect a Year 6 student to know.
Good luck!
