City and Islington college taster Day

I'm going to angel sixth form's taster day on Monday the 30th, let me know if you're going.

What do you think I should bring? What should I expect? I applied for A Level biology, chemistry, and psycology.

If anyone has attended this school in the past, or currently goes there, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the college.

Yeah, I might take the tube on the day since it's a shorter walk from the train station to the school. I was thinking of maybe taking a calculator as well for chemistry. Have you been to any taster days before?

No I haven’t been to any this is like the only school I actually applied to so if I don’t get the GCSEs for it I’m actually done for but I think it’ll be fine. A calculator might be a good idea for psychology as well since there’s math in that too but idk if they’ll go that far into it.

I'm sure you'll do well. CANDI is also my top choice. I hope we both get in. Do you have any friends who also want to go to this college?

True, I guess it's an opportunity to reinvent yourself
