SWAP Access to Health and Biological Science at Glasgow Clyde College

Hi Patrick, I've been trying to find out the same with very little luck! Let me know if you have any luck

Hi Roxi,

I've been chatting with someone running the course and applied fro augusts course what information are you after?

Hi there. I have my interview on Thursday I was working if it would be possible if you could maybe send me these questions as I’m quite nervous.
Thanks very much ☺️ Zoe

Hi there, I have an interview/test coming up for this course do you still have the practice questions and would you mind emailing me them also?

Hi there, I completed this course during 2019-2020 so you're welcome to ask me anything about it. In terms of the entrance examination it was all quite relaxed with the maths questions being quite basic. There were some percentage questions and I remember there being a ratio question. I can't remember any of the other questions but I would say just go over some nat 5 stuff and basic arithmetic. I was out of education 7 years and didn't find it too difficult.

For the other part of the entrance examination we were given a list of science based discussion questions and we were to write a short essay (if you can call it that, it was very short haha) answering one of the questions. I read a few science research articles beforehand and prepared something basic which I found was very helpful. If I remember correctly I answered a question about innovations in science and why I was interested in that so I was able to write about research into the gut microbiome. It was all very relaxed and what I had written was far from perfect but they just want an idea of where you're at with writing and also to see your interest in science in general I think. There were quite a number of different questions so you'll be able to find one that you can answer.

I would say don't worry too much about the entrance test it really was very chill but do prepare by going over some arithmetic and preparing something to write about. Unless it's changed dramatically from 2019 I think it will be the same more or less as when I did it.

If you have any other course specific questions I'd be happy to answer them as well!

This has been so helpful thank you so much! I was a bit anxious about the maths exam being out of education for 6 years myself but hearing that you've been out of education for the same amount of time, even a bit longer and you found it very relaxed and that the maths exam was pretty basic is very reassuring. This has been a great help, thank you! Can you remember roughly how long the interview/entrance exam was?
