Durham University Primary Education Interview TESTS!

?hello,
I have an interview for Durham University, primary education X101, and I am really excited.
But there is a test on English, Maths and Science. All it says is to revise the GCSE stuff on BBC bitesize.
I'm not wanting to know the questions, but I'm wanting to know the style of test for those who have sat it?
Is it multiple choice? Calculator? Is it really difficult?
Thanks!!


also interview tips would not go a miss :')

English section is multiple choice until the end, and science is multiple choice all the way through but maths obviously isnt. Apart from that dont really think I am allowed to tell you much more other than that I found it quite difficult, but it must have gone better than I thought!

Oh wow, thank you :-)
I'm wondering if you can tell me if the maths paper was calculator or non-calculator? Maths is my biggest worry right now
I'm glad your interview went better than you thought :smile:

It's non-calculator and it's on a time limit. But I wouldn't worry about it too much they say the interview and presentation are much more important. If it makes you feel any better maths was my worst section too, I was pretty certain I failed the test, didn't even finish the maths section but I still got an offer :biggrin: good luck!
