When I went, they gave the notoriously hard addition question.

"What is 4+4?"

I vividly remember sweating, trying hard to calculate the sum. Alas, it was too hard, and I did not receive a place. Don't make the mistake I did, assuming the questions would be easy. Be prepared!

I wouldn't be surprised if they even did multiplications... They're tough, those Oxonians.

Check out the wording of the job listing. Does the listing focus on working with a team? Does it focus more on specific abilities? Perhaps it calls for experience in particular areas? When a Recruiter writes a job listing for advertisement, they usually have a very good idea of what type of person they are looking for. By figuring out what type of person they want, and you will improve your chances.
