Hi Katie

I can only help witih the maths test at Keele. You get 12 questions and 20 minutes to answer them, dont worry it is only basic i got 100% and my maths is not the best. An example is 2 friends and i go for a burger. we have 1 burger each at £1.50 and a drink at 75p each. How much will it cost all together? They really are basic but you need to read them properly because some of the questions follow on from one another.

Good luck for Keele, they really are lovely go smart because you get points for everything

I'd also recommend not to have false nails, especially with the health and safety and infection control thats taken over at the mo, go easy on the make-up like TallPoppy said, they told us after that they look at stuff like that.
I think you could ask about the library resources, the pass and retention rates, tell them you're well supported by family and friends and your good at time management (whoa I fair told a porky on that one!). Also you could ask if they ever have some influential speakers, like Denis Walsh, Soo Downe, Tina Lavender etc... Find out who the midwives are that work there, via there webpage, then google their names to see if they've done any articles, and if you happen to be interviewed by them, you could say, I particularly enjoyed your article/research on ........ topic.
They doo like that xx
