Would it really bring down your scores? I thought it's just about how many of the 20 you get right?

They mark your accuracy and speed brah so if you don't know the answer, don't guess.

Which tests does this apply to? That's tough

When we have to 'fill out work experience' I never know if it's acceptable to just copy the description on my CV

Jesus Christ finally thanks for that response. I'm in that exact same position and will apply to SW this year even though I'm in my first year of both 3/4 years. BEng or maybe MEng I don't know quite yet.

Some might say it's worth rewording it slightly but I'd copy & paste. There's really no benefit in changing it unless it's one of those short essay questions

Unless it's an integrated masters, you can apply. It's really not that difficult to understand

If you opt to do a masters later on, that's different

No. I'm on a 4 yr by default. But it's up to me if I want to just do 3 years. 'Hissy fit' - mate, Refrain from giving advice on a topic which you might not know much about. Cheers

Just to let you know, I'm also on a 4 year course, by default and therefore couldn't apply for any spring weeks last year, the banks will just bin your application if you don't meet eligibility requirements. By all means seek out relevant work experience this year, but it's better to leave your applications for spring weeks until next year. That way you've had a whole year to prepare and should hopefully be successful in gaining an offer.

Yeah I mean I wouldn't take SW app seriously this year anyway. It won't come to of any good cos my A levels are not pretty lol. Yeah I'll just focus on developing skills and academia this year.

This is true if you put down on your application your expected graduation date is 2018. However, if you choose to put 2017 as you are unsure whether you will be doing a 3/4 year course they wouldn't be able to find out and therefore it wouldn't hinder your application.

If your A-Level grades are below the filter, it probably won't make much difference between this year and next.

Maybe it's just me, but if I had originally applied to a 4 year course and that's what I got into then putting you graduate a year before you actually do isn't right. I know anyone who is on the 4 year course for my subject only applied to it because they were pretty set on doing the masters included. I think that it would only work one way, that is you're currently on a 3 year course, so apply for spring weeks during first year, but once you've finished the year you decide you want to do a masters as well, this way you can then apply for spring weeks during second year as well. I just don't think it should work the same way in reversal. That's just my opinion though.

They're A*ABB and I'll be going to UCL. Is it below the filter?
