Studyzones personal statement review
#1
Ok, most people have probably sent off their personal statements by now, but if you’re still looking for a second opinion, you might find the Studyzones website useful. They have a work submission process which allows you to submit your personal statement and get it reviewed – similar to our own PSR on Studential.

The differences are, your statement is reviewed by an actual teacher or tutor and you’re given a grade afterwards. I submitted my own personal statement and – rather surprisingly was given a C grade and the comments posted below:

Quote:This has a promising start, and I particularly like the reference to the revision website, which is certainly unusual. The big drawback is that you are nothing like specific enough about topic areas and project work, and I have indicated in the draft where this should be added - in more than one place. I have also tidied up some of the wording, and hope you like the revised version.

The tutor is right, my personal statement wasn’t all that specific, but I would have thought I could have done better than a C!

Just a warning: for anyone who’s considering posting their personal statement on studyzones – the work does become public after you’ve uploaded it so you may not want to try it until you’ve sent off your Ucas form.
