I go an interview as well as a test.

I'm scared has anyone got any pointers and also has anyone done this? I want to know how the foundation year goes and during the foundation year what can you do?

I have an interview in a few weeks coming up, I know there is a maths test that they gave me a work booklet for to practise with as well as an interview but that all I am aware of

Yeah they gave me a handbook aswell, l'll start looking into it soon.

ok, do you know anything about the interview? I have heard nothing might email them so I have some idea the sorts of questions that will be asked so I can be slightly prepared

Hello, if anyone would like to be added to a SED groupchat, please reply to this message with a 'Yes' and I will private message you myself.

Hi. I have my interview next week I have to complete a written assesment a maths one. I got given a handbook today. I am really nervous for it! I’m not sure what the test is gonna be like the difficulty of the test and the questions? Could anyone please let me know if it’s like basic gcse or a level? Thank you!’

Hello,

I haven't done the test but I do know that it only requires gcse maths knowledge so it should be easy. Although you may want to brush up some basic maths topics should you feel the need to. I wouldn't worry too much

Hi thank you so much for your fast reply! I’m just really worried about this test and the difficult of the questions and the assessment itself! Also did you have an interview ? if so what kinda questions are asked just so I have a rough idea!

It would be a general interview like any other interview. I would prepare the same way you may have prepared for an optometry interview at other universities. You may want to look up the general stuff they cover such as your motives to study this course, why are you a suitable candidate etc

Sorry I couldn't guide much as I have taken neither the maths test or interview.

No problem thank you so much for your fast reply and your help. Are you currently studying the course now If So how you finding it. Is the course quite hard in your opinion?

Hello, the course is overall difficult in my opinion for those trying to achieve 70%+ however, with consistent and efficient revision, its achievable. You must work hard from day 1.
May I ask what course you plan on doing next year?

Hi. Its understandable that’s it’s hard but with revision and hard work it’s always possible. I’m wanting to progress onto doing pharmacy after the foundation year.

I’ve just completed this course this year and was able to progress into Optom. In my opinion some courses were intense but as long as u keep on track with your work and go through the qs they give u consistently you’ll be fine, especially with Pharmacy cos it’s less competitive than optom so if u achieve an overall of like 68% u can still progress into pharmacy without being on a waiting list.
