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 asked two questions in each interview, and one about my personal statement. In the first they asked a maths question, then a physics, and in the second they asked two physics questions. When I found parts difficult, they nudged me in the right direction.
I looked at A level papers, and read over my personal statement.
I used A Level revision to prepare.
Treat the interview as a meeting with a friendly teacher. They’ll ask tough questions but are there to help you, and will appreciate you being friendly as well.
