I'm so nervous for tomorrow. Keep thinking they're going to ask me a question and I'm just going to go blank.

Also I have no idea what to wear.

How was your interview today guys? (I suppose as this is the last day of interviews, we don't need to be secret anymore - at least, we were not told to keep it secret)

Was the overall score out of 500? I saw a lot of 400's while peeking at the test scores.

The academic threshold might have been set at 380.

but you got 385 Edit: Oh I see, the minimum score for an interview

I know. Anyone below the academic threshold do not get offered an interview. See admission arrangements, paragraph 5.

Err... 520 seems like a strange number.
According to the admissions policy the ratio of the score of interview to exams is 1:4, so each exam (should) be worth 104 (520/(1+4).
Since Winading001, got 114 on his English Lit exam, it doesn't make sense.

Not unless I read my English score incorrectly.... but I'm confident my English Lit score was in the 100's

What about you? Your score?
You'll just have to wait until the qualification score is published.
They said that a half of the number of people who applied weren't invited.

No idea. All I have is the word of the principal, he didn't go into specifics about the score nor were there any of those sheets with people's names on. I didn't have to sign in either.

When Mr Handscombe came around talking to individuals, a person asked him what the total was and he said the maximum on each paper was 130 (so 130*4 = 520).
