Hi there!

Thank you for the info! I haven't received anything! And I can't believe they have only just sent the info out! I really don't know how I'm going to fit 15 days into my schedule before the children break up! I don't suppose you could forward me the email could you? If I message you my e-mail address? Let me know, thank you! X

Yes. When it comes to how much it's worth, don't worry about different years being worth different things. I do 6 modules a year for years one and two at 20 credits each and in my third year I do two 20 credit modules and two 40 credit modules - each 20 credit module was 5.5 and the 40 credit ones were 11

Thank you

so I'm gonna have to use some maths skills to work out how much each module was worth for the 3 year degree!

I only know what each module was worth for the year (so each year there was 120 credits, and so I can tell you how much each module is worth for that year i.e. 20) Is that alright?

me again! For the English grade what do we put? I have two GCSE's for English - one for English and one for English Lit. Do I just put the English grade, and then put the English Lit grade in the other GCSE category? thanks for any help!

Yeh, like literally every single one of my modules was worth 20 credits so I just put "20" next to them.

English language and then you can put English lit as another GCSE.

I found the real test easier than numeracy ready. In my opinion, if your passing numeracy ready you should be fine.

Use YouTube videos (type in numeracy skills test practice), they seriously worked for me. They break each question down for you, and DONT move on to the next question until you know the answer and how they worked it out.

I wish you the best of luck, if you need any help or advice let me know

Please help need advice!
i'm starting my PGCE this September. I will not be working but my partner does, he won't earn more than 16,000 this year, we have two children under 4 so will need full timechildcare. We are not entitled to working tax credit childcare. It says online I would be entitled to 85% of my childcare to be payed for but depend of my partners income but it says nowhere online what the cut off point is. If we don't get the childcare grant I won't be able to do the course :-( can anyone tell me any info or are you in similar position to me and been awarded the childcare grant, or any other grant. Thanks

How many hours a week will your partner be working? if it's over 16 p/w you should get working tax credits? Ive used the student finance calculator to work out what I'd be entitled to. Between that and tax credits calculator I'm hoping I've got a reasonable idea of what money I'll have coming in - I'm a single mum and will need childcare for before and after school for my son!

Hi,
yes but because I'm classed as unemployed to working tax credits we will get no childcare help at all :-( I just don't understand it, our childcare would cost more than what my partner earns. I feel let down and trapped really as we don't earn enough to be able to pay for full time childcare. I'm going to Darlington in person on Friday to speak to someone about it as it's crazy

If you wont get childcare element of tax credits you are entitled to childcare grant from student finance. I'm sure there will be a way around it! Does the university itself have any childcare attached to it?
