Does anyone know how many people usually apply each year to the primary course and how many offers they hand out?

I think it went okay! I had a really nice interviewer and the exam wasn't too hard! Hopefully they liked me :smile:

I was afraid they wouldn't understand my accent because I'm from Northern Ireland!

Did you get feedback?

yes they send you a letter with the things that you need to improve

Hi Ben,
I'm definitely wanting to put edgehill down as my first choice but I need all my offers back yet!!!

I know! its a pain waiting right?!

You'll get them soon :smile:

As fr everyone asking, the skills tests for EH are pretty basic! Just KS3 Lvl stuff, really easy! So don't worry! And my offer took a week to come back :smile:

Well done to everyone who has been offered a place! Can anyone tell me about the presentation? Is it done in small groups or to all of the other candidates? I'm nervous! Thanks and good luck everyone.

I had my interview today and the presentation was basically trainees sat in pairs with two interviewers and you explain about your book and why you picked it etc. Then we had individual interviews that lasted about 10/15 mins. We then went back to do the knowledge tasks that I found quite easy. It was just multiple choice questions in basic Maths, English and Science knowledge and then a written task where you had to answer questions about an article you are given, giving your own opinions on the things written in the article :smile:

all in all I didn't think it was too bad

Hi Emma,

Glad you found it okay! Did you take cue cards for your presentation? Did they say how long you would have to wait to find out?

Good luck! x

Have a look at the DfE website, there are practice maths and english tests. Also BBC bitesize is good for revision. Good luck.
