Aptitude Test and Group Discussion at Brighton.

HI GUYS :biggrin:

Just received an email from Brighton asking me to visit for an aptitude test and group discussion.

Anyone in the same boat?

Also does anyone know any more information about what the day could involve?
e.g about the test and group discussion.

Cheersss :smile: x

I think Brighton is doing the same sort of thing that Portsmouth uni has been doing...about time as well!

I have no idea what sort of questions that they would ask so it will be interesting to hear the feedback.

Personally I think it's a great idea, a little bit of competition doesn't hurt anyone! And I will be helping out for the interviews don't know what days yet but hopefully I will see you guys there :smile:

Good luck and feel free to PM me if you have questions!

i'm really confused, i also got a letter asking me to come for the aptitude test etc.
but then i found that they had updated my track to give me an offer?
has anyone else had this happen?!
and does anyone know if i still need to go for apptitude tests?!
i will be ringing brighton tomorrow, as its a bit late now, but just wondering if other people got this too! :smile:
Yeah, Brighton are doing Calculation tests this year for applicants to reinforce the notion to students that you need to keep on top of this stuff and be able to do them easily.

I don't think everyone gets offers no. You meet your competition at the tour as your put into your jnterview groups! The interviews, well mine, was very relaxed. As for the test, there's about 10maths questions, then you have to define some horrible words which i couldn't, then there is an ethics questions, and a guessing question, which changes for each group I believe.

Are the maths questions with or without calculator? What sort of words were they? General vocabulary or science sort of stuff? What do you mean by guessing question?

Thanks :smile:

Without i think, i cant really remember. And more adapting drug doses and volumes questions.

And there is a questing in which they ask you to guess the answer, all they are interested is in how you work it out... there is no right or wrong answer.

thank you..
were the questions the same then... because that would make it hard trying to differ your answers so you dont sound like your repeating ehat someone else has already said.. did it feel like that happened?... what sort of questions were u asked in the group interview...?


thank youu for your help xx
