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.

Interview Format

2 interviews, about 20/30 mins each, 2 interviewers in each, first more relaxed/chatty. Had already done admissions test at college.

What happened in your interview? How did you feel?

Discussed articles previously given, personal statement. First interview developed into a relaxed discussion, second also included an unseen source to analyse.

How did you prepare?

Had two mock interviews at college, a subject one with my teachers, and a more general one with my head of sixth form. Researched my interviewers so I could ask them questions on their areas within geography.

Looking back, what advice would you give to your past self?
