Yes September 2019. Not my first time studying though. I did numerous modules with Open university and got my reference from Open university.

Wow well done. This is my first time at this level, Ive done loads of courses, I've resat my GCSE's and got my HLTA at the school i was working in i just hope I can cope with it all.
Ok so commenced uni in my 'middle age' and wonder if I'm quite up to it. Only 3 weeks in but my 1st practice exam didn't do so well, drew blanks when the pressure is on....any thoughts? repetition maybe ?

Same lol. I did it all while also working full time. I had no GCSE's, so I sat them first myself with learn direct functional qualification equivalent to gcse and after getting an 8 at the math exam with examiners disbelief I decided to start university. I asked to my local uni what I need to do to get accepted and was told to do couple of open university modules. So that's what I did. I think I have enough grades but still not sure if they will take me with equivalent grade and open university modules. We will find out soon.
Honestly i had my GCSE's but had no proof of them and when I applied i thought there was no way I would get excepted i had Maths english GCSE a level 3 in childcare and my HLTA (level 4 equiverlant) and 20 years experence, the woman interviewing me even said i dont think you have enough points, I came away crying because i thought i hadnt got enough. so you should be fine
I hope so lol. So you have an offer now? I am hoping to at least get an interview. I am already preparing myself as I heard they give short notice to attend an interview. I applied 4th October. So over a month ago.

Sleep now. Tomorrow is a new chapter in your life. No doubt, there will be ups and downs. But you will get there, for sure.
Stay posting.
