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.

First interview much more academic about specific areas of science but more of an academic discussion that straight up questions.
Second interview involved reading a graph and then a discussion about my personal statement including some more academic questions leading in from what my personal statement mentioned.

If you’re not sure, apply! Might as well give it a go, no one thinks they’ll get in! For interviews even if you have no idea discuss your thought process, talk it through, all they’re looking for is that you’re reachable and willing to put the effort in, not whether you already know everything!
