Northwood College Interview

Post by exampipe »

As well as sitting the Group 2 test today, my DD also received an invitation to a group interview (and online test) which will last 2 and 1/2 hours at Northwood College.

Can anyone advise what they cover in this amount of time, and what the test is based on (NVR, VR???)
Thanks

The group interview will be all about working at as a team and showing that your dd can be inclusive and not dominate. She will be in a group of about six girls and they will be given a task and will be expected to work together to complete it and not leave anyone out. i do not know for sure that this is what Northwood do but I have experience of other local indys that do this with their group interview.

Spot-on DAOG save that the initial group was slightly larger & after they had all said their names & answered an ice-breaker qn they were split into 2 small groups. All v non-stressful & the staff were very welcoming & empathetic.
The online test was a CEM style test - see other threads on this forum for types of content. V tight on time in some sections apparently - DD2 had never done anything like it before so it was a bit of a shock to the system(especially as I had forgotten to warn her that when you move on from one section in on-line tests you often can't go back :oops: ). Prep tip - as ever, VOCABULARY!!!
