Good luck with applying to universities! I'm currently a PGCE student (Primary, 3-7) years old, taking the PGCE route.
In my opinion, my course is going really well. Not on placement just yet because of the pandemic but I do look forward to starting it soon.

Some people are absolutely snowed under though- it depends how many kids you have (I only have 18), the school's marking policy (mine is very light, especially with Covid- we want to minimise the touching of books by adults) and how much the teacher supports you (in my case, a lot, because she's great). It really does depend.

I'm on placement right now for PGCE 3-11 (in the final weeks of my first placement) and, honestly, the workload's not been too bad. Definitely had times when I've felt overwhelmed but I expect it to be a lot worse on my next placement, though, as the expectations go up a lot.
