Sutton Trust US Programme Cohort 12 (2023) Applicants Thread

For the people who got accepted, how are you guys going to prepare for the ACT exam?

i got in, if u dont do well on the ACT can u not go?

I dont think you get to go on the trip if you don't sit it. I dont think the score matters too much

I haven’t even started revising because I knew if I didn’t get into the programme I wouldn’t apply
To the us. Since I was accepted there’s lots of short videos on TikTok going through answers and online there are lots of practice questions. But I think we get tutoring or something like that

Why wouldn’t I apply if you didn’t get in.

Did anyone get an email reminding about the survey?

Yo and I did it before so they r just rubbing it in my face atp

Did you already submit yours?
And also I saw an idea from a previous year's thread - does anyone want to create a group for those who were rejected to help each other apply in the autumn, or is everyone just not applying anymore? I'm kind of conflicted rn

There’s a lot of free advice on YouTube (like walkthroughs and lessons on structure ext) and it’s quite easy to find past papers that are useful for familiarising yourself with the questions and structure of the exam. As for more general tips I recommend putting the most revision into sections you don’t do relating alevels for (for example if you’re doing all stem based subjects focus on the English/humanities section and if your doing humanities/English focus on maths and stem) also it’s definitely worth reaching out to your school/teachers as they may have had someone do this before and be able to support you.
