Trinity Hall :biggrin:
Not much, just planning on reading a couple of books and watching some online lectures. Do you have to submit any written work? I have to send in two essays, but since I don't take psychology I'm having trouble deciding what to send in :/

No I don't have to submit work! Hmm well given that they don't expect students to have studied Psychology at school, I'm guessing they want to see how well you argue? English essays then maybe? :smile:

1) Oxford (Experimental), UCL (Psych & Language science), Bath, still unsure about the 2 others...

2) Got all A's in Psychology, Biology, Chemistry, Geography (dropped) and Maths, but those A's are not quite high though

3) I'm an international student so I didn't have a GCSE result (Am I the only one?!)

To be honest I don't really have much confidence in the Oxford application. It's really just an impulsive decision lol
I find the TSA quite challenging also. Anyone struggling with TSA too? :s-smilie:

Hi! I've applied for UCL (with language sciences), Bath, and Oxford (psychology and linguistics). Which course did you choose for Bath?

TSA aaaargh!!! I've done three practise papers and they just seem to get harder. What score do you get on average?
I've applied for Birmingham, Aston, Lincoln, Newcastle and Nottingham

I got AABE in psychology, English combined, philosophy and biology, and I'm predicted A*AB

At GCSE I got 1A, 7B's and 2C's
