Bit of a random idea. A lot of schools seem to ask their Oxbridge interviewees to do interview reports, to give students in the future a better idea of what interviews in their subject are likely to be like, even without the specifics of questions. It might be nice if we could get something like that going on here?

This is an amazing idea. I'll try to add mine by the end of the day :smile:

Let's say the ones that went well went really well and the ones that went bad went awful :redface:
Eh, we'll see results day. Just wanna scrape that 270 in A2 Bio and Chem :cry2: and 480 in Maths
(Assuming everything goes well on Results Day ofc), Does anyone know what date freshers are likely to have to go down to Cambridge this September/October?

Tell them you are speaking metaphorically then. I'm going upwards to Cambridge... academically. Bonus is that this is applicable everywhere, from Oxford to MIT

ah ok I see. Well im lucky I live right on the south coast so everything is 'up'. e.g. A conversation between me and a friend the other day:
"Did you go away last weekend?"
"Yeah, we went to the north"
"Where abouts?"
"London"
