Hey, I think people are reluctant to say what specific topics are discussed in the interview as this would give you an edge over the people who had to do it with absolutely no prior knowledge of what will be asked.
Think about what you would ask someone if you were interviewing them for a scholarship. Remember, they're trying to learn about what makes you tick and how you think.

Good luck!

Unfortunately I don't actually know yet. We were told on the day that scholarships would be given out after the 12th October, because they still had 8 more assessment centres to go. Obviously they don't want to start handing out offers straight away because if they find brighter stars in the latter assessment centres they may not have anymore scholarships left to give them!

So I shall have to wait a little more :s-smilie:

Does anyone know when Lloyds are going to give out the Scholarships? I thought it was the 12th October, only they haven't told me anything either way. It's the same for a few people I know who are also in the same boat as me.

Can anyone shed any light on this? Getting fraught!

Haha same, the last few questions threw me off a bit :/
There's one thing I'm confused about - I've just finished my A levels, and I obviously don't have any of my A level results back yet, so I can't fill out the secondary eduction section. Does this mean that I have to wait until I get my results back before I can submit my application?

I should also mention that at our school, we did all of our A levels and AS levels at once, so right now I don't have any official qualifications beyond GCSE until results day comes.

I used my predicted grades. I've done IB and those that I've uploaded are not official as the school keeps them secret.

I was wondering whether I should contact the Lloyds Scholars when my results come out next week?
My son just put his predicted grades in. Just heard that he has a telephone interview next week :smile:
