Hiya,

As the subject heading says we have almost completed the assessment process and have now got a panel date set for the start of July

Very excited about it - but as it gets closer I am getting more nervous! I know it is just the fear of the unknown!!

Any insight or advice would be gratefully received

thanks

Hi, Good Luck.

if you have come this far and are going to panal then it's pretty much a given you will be approved. so hold onto that thought when nerves kick in.

Advice - take each day as it comes and buy a big bottle of nit lotion , although if you just 0-2 hopefully you wont need it.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks sumum

hopefully that is the case - at the prep course that certainly was what we were told they don't put you forwards unless they are almost 100% that you would get accepted - It is just the unknown really!

Shall make sure to come back and let you know how it goes - well unless we get knocked back then I might sit in a corner and sulk for a few weeks

It is daunting but probably not as bad as you fear-it certainly wasn't for us.

They will ask you a few questions,just answer honestly and as sumum says-if you have got this far your assessment officer must be confident.

Good luck to you!

Sqidgybrain, just come across this post from almost 8 years ago! Just wondered how things have worked out for you in that time? x
