University interview tommorw


I have a University interview tommorow in Newport the first one of five. Not looking forward to it.

I've applied to do a BA in primary education with QTS.

Its a very scary process and am very nervous. I still can't get over the actual process I will go through.

Starts off with a one on two interview, then i have a maths and english exam to complete, then i present a oral presentation on pupil motivation which I have just prepared, then they give me an extract I have never seen which I have to read aloud and after this I have to answer questions verbally and written on another extract and then another one on two interview.

Oh good luck! Does that train you for teaching? How brilliant What's QTS? I love the bit about reading aloud . . . what are they testing for, confidence or a 'voice of authority'??
