There will be over 71,000 people applying for college courses around the country in 2010/2011. There are only about 50,000 places in total in college, so you don’t need an A1 in honours maths to work out that there are more applicants than places. Almost 20,000 more.

In our recent post on pre exam or mock results we discussed the mock papers (if that’s what they’re called!?). But how much should you really expect to improve on your mock results and June?
