Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

can you put things you did in secondary education in your PS?

Hi TSR members,

I actually wanted to know whether it was possible to speak about things you've done in secondary school for your personal statement, given that it is relevant?

Yes absolutely, I mentioned my year 10 work experience in passing and also my Silver DofE :smile:

No problem at all

I put things within the last 3 years. I chose to do this because the work experience my uni course needed had to be within the past 3 years. I wouldn't put anything too far back in no matter how relevant
