Cool! What would you look at for Compsci problems??


I usually solve programming problems online but I don't know if that will help for interview so I might just look at the Computer Science applicant questions from Oxford MAT. You?

I in fact do not know much about programming haha that was why I was asking. I only learned python myself and made several apps and had some fun with raspberry pi with GPIO and that is about it. I think I should look at oxford question too! Good Idea.

And these days I am putting more time into planning to travel london.. I cannot waste the plane ticket fee!
Did anyone else get an interview for Bio NatSci?

That is actually a lot of experience for them since they only require you to be good at maths and they do not require previous computing knowledge. Oh so you will be spending time in london too? That is a good idea! I was going to do the same but then I got an interview for Imperial this week so I will go to london this week anyway :smile: (but the plane ticket fees are a lot)

I got an interview from Imperial but I just decided to do it via Skype haha. It's a shame that you cannot enjoy your last potential travel before IB and the graduation! I think I might be going France too, so I am looking forward to it so much!!

Does anyone have any idea about how to prepare for the 1 hour Natsci Biological test? Especially the 'short' essay?! (Essays aren't my forte)
Are there any HSPS interviewees here?

EDIT: Will anyone be there on the 6th/7th?

I won't exactly prepare for writing the essay. But designing a scheme on how you will approach the answer to the question generally helps with the eloquence. And for the maths section, I will only practise some questions of probabilities because what we do in school is way more complex than the maths in the exam so I am prettt confident. Hope this helps a bit :smile:

Thankyou!! So is the maths more stats based? Are there any sample questions available or is it all a bit hush hush?

haha I don't think that's too much of a problem, maybe you will stand out from the rest. if you don't mind me asking how are you preparing? I have to analyse an article but have no clue what kind of articles to use as practise. Does everyone get 2 interviews?

I have two interviews as well. I am doing a lot of reading and just keeping up with current news really. I also get an article to read 30 mins before interview.
