Default College Interview

I'm soooo excited to start college now, it was amazing!

I took the tests they required, BKBS or something like that? I got level 1 for Maths which is average GCSE level and level 2 for English which is high GCSE level.

I then did a general science exam, I will get a letter at some point with the results for that. We were given a tour around the animal centre which is newly built and opened by Alan Titchmarsh. There were loads of hammies in big tanks A syrian in a gabber rex, several groups of russains and a single robo, all friendly. Loads of rabbits, degus, gerbils etc. then the farm animals.

I found out everything I need to know too. Basically if I get over 50% on the science test I took, pass all my GCSEs and find a work placement I'll be accepted.

On top of that, I get my GCSE maths and additional science results tomorrow!

Thanks and yep Lougarry. It's amazing there! Much better than any other college. I'll be devastated if I don't get in, but if I don't get onto the vet course they can offer me another animal related placement. x

That sounds really good, I always forget, are you in year 11 or 10? I think 11.. I hope you get the placement, the animal college where I used to live didn't require a placement to join, but I guess they all vary, but that seems like the hardest bit!

I'm year 11. Thanks, yeah the placement is the hardest bit, although they've changed it slightly. I only need 2.5 days a week at a placement now, not 4 days.
