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 had two interviewers in each interview - so four in total. Each asked me about a different biological scenario. I wasn’t asked any personal statement questions, it was all science-y problem solving questions.
All the interviewers made me feel as comfortable as possible and helped me when I got stuck. I’d also had to choose a topic to talk about beforehand so was able to revise that before being asked about it.

Just make sure you know the science and THINK OUT LOUD so the interviewers know what you’re thinking and can give you hints. And make sure you know your subject well.
