    Hi, Is there anyone here who is doing the North Tyneside SCITT? I've applied for the 2012/13 intake and just wondered how you're finding the course so far? I have the subject audits tomorrow and I'm really nervous about them!

    Still trying to do some! Heard that its not reall that bad but everything you read about the TDA one is a horror story... Can't do much more though so I'm just crossing fingers now! Have you done much?

     Hi guys! I am in the same boat! I have applied to North Tyneside too. I havent had my audits yet. What did you think? Are they tough? I am really nervous about them. I think English will be ok but Im not brilliant at Maths and it is AGES since I did any Science! Any pointers? General areas of study? I dont think I expected the range to be as advanced as KS3! Eeek!

    Hiii everyone! I have my audits on the 8th of February, does anyone else? I am so worried and even more so after hearing my friends report of her experience at Gateshead SCITT interview today. Could anyone give any advice about the subject audits and do we do both mental arithmetic and an additional written numeracy paper? Im so scared.

     Hello,

    I've done a SCITT interview as well and don't worry about the tests at all. You don't have to be nervous - Unless you fail English, which assuming you can write complex sentences in paragraphs with full stops and the odd big word, it shouldn't affect your chances of getting on the course. It gives the course leaders a heads up on what you need to study over the summer and what you may need help with. 

     Good Luck

    Hello SG1989, I'm going to the Gateshead SCITT selection day in March and am already panicking! What did your friend say it involved?/ What did they say was the hardest part?  

    Your audits should be ok, I reckon the best practice you can get is at timed mental arithmetic tests. I've heard they are the worst part. Good luck.

     Im still trying to revise for my subject audits. I was just wondering of those who have already completed them: are they multiple choice? 

    Im so nervous about them with not knowing what to expect. How complex are the questions on the mental maths test? 

    Help!
