CHeck out the Pathways thread in the forums and you'll get the idea if you're interested...

Whens the closing date on applications for that?

@Nua and @Fellybabe - I applied to Lambeth College, did the assessment and have been offered an interview for a different course. I was told the pass mark for the interview was 19/20 for each section. Obviously I didn't make the grade

BUT I did apply to The Manchester College, did the assessment and have an interview for teh course 24th May. I had an acknowledgement from Sussex Downs that they received my application; closing date is today, so now it's a matter of waiting to see if I made the short-list there or not.

Good luck with your applications

If I'm unsuccessful at any of my choices for entry September 2012, then I'll add this one to the list of places I'll be looking to apply to for entry 2013. Ta v much for the tip

Hi. I've been asked to go to the assessment for Lambeth's Access to Med next week... Can anyone tell me what sort of essay questions where asked when they went? And the comprehension - how hard is it? I'm fine with the maths side of these kinds of things, but my essay writing skills aren't the best... :/ Help?

The essay is not hard, it doesn't have to be amazing, they just want to see how you write and whether you know the basics of grammar, spelling, structure etc. Just make sure you're competent in these areas to GCSE level. Your essay title will be different to the one I did, as they change them - but the context will be science/health. They won't expect you to demonstrate any in-depth knowledge, it will be a generalised essay question.

The comprehension is not hard either, you just have to ensure that you read the article carefully and find the relevant bits you need to answer the questions. Some answers to questions can be found in the text, but others will require you to think about it and use your own knowledge/understanding. They're just testing basic logic and analytical skills though, it's nothing difficult.

I didn't do any preparation for the english section, and I still did well enough to gain an interview so I think you'll be fine.

Good luck next week, I have my interview then too!

Good luck to those of you with interviews and assessments. I've been offered a place, which I'm over the moon about, and I look forward to meeting some of you this September.

I'm currently waiting to hear back from Lambeth regarding my interview last week. If I get in, I'll be starting there this September as well. All the best to everyone else applying.

Thanks! Congrats to you too! At enrolment they said that the timetables are still being produced, I hope we get them soon! Do you know if they send out reading lists as well for the courses? Want to try and get some preparation done beforehand!
