Aston is rated as the best for Optom, and they let people in via clearing with BBC/BBB this year.

Don't sweat it.

What's the optometry quiz ? Will it affect our chances in getting in if we don't do as well?

Is the 20 points given regardless of the outcome of the quiz?
Will applicants be considered depending on the outcome of the quiz?
Thanks

The quiz is one of several activities that will take place on the day. To be eligible for the 20 UCAS tariff point reduction on their Bradford offer, applicants must be studying qualifications that attract tariff points, attend the applicant experience day and complete all of the activities. The quiz is informal; there is no ‘pass mark’ required and the result won’t affect an applicant’s ability to get a place on the course. Hope this helps answer both your questions :smile:

I am worried because I am resitting my A2 exams.
I got a C in Bio and a D in chem.
I am scared this will affect my chance of receiving a offer/place!
I do not want to add it on to my UCAS! :frown:
