Remember this advice isn't official. There is no guarantee it will reflect your experience because university applications can change between years. Check the official Cambridge and Oxford websites for more accurate information on this year's application format and the required tests.
Also, someone else's experience may not reflect your own. Most interviews are more like conversations than tests and like, any conversation, they are quite interactive.
I was called for an engineering interview in December. I was met at the
In the first interview we talked about electrical circuits and capacitors. The content was away from the syllabus, but do-able with the knowledge that the A-level physics and maths courses give you. I was also asked to sketch an obscure graph that I had never seen before. They also questioned me about the workings of an engine, as I had said in my personal statement that I have had experience working with them in the past.
The second interview discussed more classical mechanics problems involving energy and forces, which was very much an on-syllabus topic for myself as I had studied the all 3 Mechanics modules at A-level. During all of the interviews I was
