I had a written test and 2 interviews over 2 days. The test was for the MML side, there were about 6 of us in a room, we were given a text and told to write whatever we wanted about it, in an hour. I remember I tried to relate it to a Spanish book I'd read -.can't really remember why but it seems that it worked.

Then I had an interview for Education, with 2 interviewers, and one for MML (French), also with 2 interviewers. The Education one was about 45 minutes, but the French one was a bit longer.

I was given a text and 20 minutes to prepare a reflection before both interviews. The Education one was about a style of education that I'd never heard of before and I didn't really know what to say, but the interviewers were very good with prompting questions so I managed to make a half decent argument. We talked mostly about my experience in education so far.

The interview for French was more based on my personal statement: we talked a bit about some works by a French author I'd read - turns out you can study him in 2nd year! Then we switched to speaking in French and there was a bit of translation to do based on the reading they had given me, and they also asked me to read a bit out loud.

Overall, I found in both cases that the interviewers were quite encouraging. They seemed keen to know me and why I wanted to study those particular subjects at Cambridge.

The best preparation I did was just to know what I'd written about on my personal statement. I did some reading on authors I had mentioned, but that's pretty much it. School wasn't very helpful so my parents tried to help me with what they thought might come up. The most important thing though was not to stress out about it. To be honest, I had not even expected to get an interview so my expectations and pressure were pretty low.

Stressing is the worst and is so unnecessary - don't stress!
