Last Wednesday, I was lucky to be one of 13 Year 11 students to go the PiXL conference on getting into Top Universities. We boarded the train to Westminster, and went to the conference hall, which was where the concert was held on New Years Eve just before the fireworks.

The conference was very engaging, giving us many tips and advice and we also got the chance to listen to people from Oxford University and Kings College London. After that, we all got vital exam tips for our upcoming GCSE exams in May. Overall, it was a really interesting conference that has provided some really useful tips on getting to universities.
