The student pilot was completing solo circuit consolidation. Four circuits were completed successfully but on the next one the pilot landed flat and the aircraft bounced. The pilot thought that he could control the landing as opposed to going around and on the third bounce the nose gear collapsed with the aircraft coming to rest on the runway.
