Hi All
I have an interview for an Access to Science course in the next couple of weeks - has anyone got any advice on how to prepare? I have been told to expect an english and maths test and although I did both for GCSE and got good grades that was over 10 years ago :os I have no idea what kind of maths i'm going to be tested on - any insight at all would be most gratefully received!
Many thanks

Hey Bumblebuzz..
Hope you have received all the information by now :) Can't believe it starts tomorrow.. I am just doing the worksheets now, turns out I do NOT remember very much maths at all.

Hi flopsy
No email and no letter :o( I've chased it with the College and they said if I don't hear anything before 17 August then to chase up again so it looks like I may have a long wait for the information - thank you for sharing it on here though - it's really helpful!
Not sure why some people are getting the info and others not as I would assume we'd both be in the same classes etc. They obviously have some kind of grand plan we are not yet aware of! The only thing I can think of is that I did a Taster Day with the College in June which counted as a Level One Environmetal Science qualification which may be in place of the assignments that you're doing?? Unless you did the Taster Day too - who knows?! Hopefully all will become clear by mid August - and failing that, definitely by 3 Sept!
Enjoy the sunshine! |

Registration is the last Tuesday in August, the week before term starts. I also have had an email with some assignments to do before we start.. Have you had this? |

Hi Flopsy
I still haven't received a letter :o( Did it give any information about the registration day at all or a confirmation of cost and payment options etc - or do you think this will be in the follow up letter in August?
Thanks

That's great, thanks flopsy!
I haven't received a letter yet but shall keep an eye out for it (cue very anxious wait, especially if it doesn't arrive soon ;os).
May see you in August for registration etc, if not, see you on 3rd September!! :oD xx

Hey bumblebuzz
I got a letter through today with term dates in it! The autumn term begins Monday 3rd September - 21st December with half term the week of 22nd October :)
There was no details of the course in there but it does say we will be contacted in August. |

Hey flopsy
That's fantastic news, congratulations!
The start date is either w/c 3rd or 10th September from what I gather and I think we'll be starting on the Monday but I'm not sure. I have emailed for confirmation but have not heard anything back yet. I was told we'd know more when we register but no-one has confirmed to me when that will be, late August I believe (let me know if you know anything more).
I haven't helped at all there have I!?! Basically with regards to start dates etc. I know the same as you (i.e. very little) but I shall update on here when I hear anything :o)

I got on the course at Leicester! :D
So very happy!!
So I will see you in September, bumblebuzz83. Do you know when the start date is? As I haven't had anything through about it yet, just an email.
Thanks

Hi Flopsy
I double checked the exact requirements with the admissions tutor at Nott and the Access to Science course at Leicester is a ok :o)

Did you ask specifics about the course to see if it matches to Nottingham's requirements? Because Peterborough's course did not have enough Chemistry in it and I really don't want this one to be another false hope! |

Yay! That's fantastic news flopsy :o) It's taken about a week to hear back from the college, just a quick email to say they'll be offering me a place. I'm just waiting for a more detailed confirmation, probably through the post I imagine :o)
Best of luck for your interview, you'll do great!

Finally got my interview date through for the end of the month for the access course!! Nervous now though, how long did it take you to hear afterwards weather or not you have a place, bumblebuzz? I'm so excited/nervous/happy eeeee! As you said, stage 1 of 50,000 :) |

Hi Flopsy
Really don't worry (though I know that is easier said than done). I applied to Leicester back in Feb/Mar time and only just had my interview last week. They have loads of interviews to go through for loads of subjects and from what I understand they interview most if not all candidates, they have just had so many applications it is taking them a while to process and interview everybody.
Best of luck, keep us informed!

Bumblebuzz, if you don't mind me asking where it is you have been accepted onto Access to Science at? And when you applied? Just I see on a previous thread that you are interested in Nottingham so we are in the same part of the country and as I said before I still haven't heard back from anywhere for an interview! Is it at Leicester? I am so nervous about not having heard yet! |

Hi Marie
I have indeed had my interview and I have just received confirmation that I have been accepted onto the Access course - so relieved!
I had to do an English test, basically free writing to see what and how much you could write for 10 mins, a Maths test which I actually found quite testing - my few bits of gcse revision really helped, a graph test and also an interview, although that was very informal and was basically checking my commitment to the course and my plans thereafter.
