    I'm having problems with my application too. I dont seem to have an Excel programme, looked it up and it says its about £200 to put on. Any tips? I've got windows XP, so unsure if I have parts of the Excel programme or not, any ideas? I'm not that computer literate, as you'll notice. x
    Theres a completely free office application called openoffice that will work with about 95% of excel files you can download it from here

    p.s. I make no gain from this

    Edit

    There is also a free Excel viewer on the microsoft website here which will allow you to open & print Excel files but you won't be able to edit them.
  • Thanks Black Cat, I'll give it a go. I thought it was too expensive to download the proper thing. x

    Blimey the test questions are proving quite difficult! I've just spent an hour on them and I'm going to have another go in the morning. The ones that look easy are sometimes the worst!

  • hello all - a short while ago someone also posted another website that had vacancies for answering questions - think it was ask82 or something - does anyone know the website please?

    Sent my application away yesterday night.

    Not got a degree either so I'm not too confident.

    Worth a go though.

    I gave up on my application! I just couldn't find the answer to 2 questions and a couple of the others I was really struggling to keep within the character limit. Then I had a busy afternoon and missed the 48 hour deadline.
    Oh well, maybe next time... good luck to everyone else.

    I was accepted earlier this month and I don't have a degree, so don't give up hope. Good luck to all who have applied.

  • I have applied and I don;t have a degree, although I have finished some OU modules.

    Good luck everyone.
