PGCE 2014 Applications (NOT FOR SPECIFIC INTERVIEW TASK DISCUSSIONS)

They will incase it gets nearer the time and they have rejected too many people, or people pull out and they need to fill the places

Thanks! Well, they have until the 4th of February (17:58.)

No problem :smile:

that's the one we were all given too, the question they ask is a tad random but it's fine, very doable! Good luck with your interview :smile:

Thank you, I think it went quite well :-)

Ahh congratulations! I'm still waiting to hear, hopefully soon! I had my interview on the 16th Jan. Did they email you or was it just a UCAS update? Well done again, hope I'm joining you!

Ah cool

Oh okay, not just me who hasn't done the skills test yet then! Yeah I am going to book somewhere, would be too stressful otherwise I think :smile:

Oh well done on your Oxford Brookes interview! I haven't heard from either of my other choices yet :frown:

I am at the University of Bath at the moment - I am doing a bit of a random course though, it's social sciences so a mix of sociology, psychology, politics and education. I would have applied for a PGCE here but they don't do them :'( I've been having a think about interview clothes! Ahh, been two years since I've had an interview so need to buy some new clothes I think. Also... have no idea what to put on the 'personal statement' bit of the college application form - is it just a list of hobbies or should it be continuous prose explaining them and why you do them? :s-smilie:

Thank you, I'm not so nervous about Oxford Brookes! Cool that sounds like a pretty relevant course for teaching :-) I'm sure you'll hear from your others soon! I went shopping and bought new clothes too haha. I just talked about my hobbies, just try and make yourself sound as outgoing and interesting as possible lol. Everyone was so friendly at the Cambridge interview so try not to worry too much! Good luck!

Oh I have been given the same article! Have you applied for primary or early years. I applied for early years so thought it might be specific to that. It looks quite interesting but I haven't read all of it yet :smile:

I applied to Primary, sounds like we were all given the same article! It is pretty interesting, and the question they ask you to answer is quite broad so quite easy to do :-)

I was the girl who spilt tea all over the desk before our English/Maths tests! So if you happened to see lots of commotion and people rushing about with paper towels, it was me! Totally embarrassing! I so hope so, feels like we have been waiting forever. Bet you're over the moon! Do you think you'll take it? I had an interview for a School Direct place on Monday but I was unsuccessful. Just hoping it went well really, but we shall see :smile:

I was so surprised that I got a place, cause I thought the interview was okay, but everyone looked so good! :tongue:
