I had my interview today, and it's not maths, but as the station suggests it's data interpretation, so I wouldn't worry if you haven't done maths A-level because it's not really like that :smile:

so don't worry :smile:

Any information he's been able to get wont help him anyway, my friend had her interview last week and her questions were completely different to mine. I think Birmingham have a bank of questions that they can use each week for this very reason. :wink:

But my ethics was the same as urs wasnt it?:\ mine was last week 2.

Don't worry, just relax and you'll be fine on data interpretation - if you panic you won't be able to think straight. I'm doing a tour on that day, so might see you, haha! (I'm first year medic, I pop in to answer questions, just to clarify) :smile:

I had one total disaster too IMO but still got an offer so chin up! If you thought the rest went well I'd say you'll still be in with a good shout:-) Good luck!

I had my interview a few days ago, I was content with 5/6 of the stations but I felt I really messed up one of the stations 😂

Data interpretation was not too bad I thought, much easier than I thought it would have been

What time is the last interview and how long does each interview last? I don't know what time to book my return ticket for. (I'll be registering at Birmingham at 12pm)

On the interview day we registered at 12pm but were given different times mine was 3pm, and told the interviews end at 5pm. The interview itself lasts around 50 minutes so you don't really know what time your interview is until you get there and register first.
