6th form interview advice

Hello again! As for clothes, just wear what you feel comfortable in, however if you want to be safe, wear a smart shirt and skirt lie you mentioned because you never know, the interviewer could be someone who really cares about appearances. I'm guessing you'll be asked general things about maths, chemistry, physics, english and perhaps philosophy, but i'm not sure about Italian. If it says you do not need to now any italian for an ad initio, then you probably won't. You may also be asked about career aspirations, so be clear as to what you would say regarding that

my advice is to prepare for nothing

if you have the grades they will let you in
as for each student they let it they receive £4000-£10000

if you dont have the predicted grades they will kick you out or recommend you their garbage courses

Hey again!
I think I'll just mention wanting to be a physicist at CERN - they might not think so highly of my plans to be a teacher..... (which would be vaguely ironic) - or I'll mention both and say the teaching is a more realistic option.....
How do you answer general things about philosophy!!!
I've learnt a tiny bit of Italian like number from 1-10, greetings....
Thanks!

Mentioning CERN will be very impressive and will show that you have high ambitions. Make sure you sound passionate about physics as schools like students who already have a passion at 15/16. As for philosophy, the questions should be general because it's not a difficult subject. You should be able to answer them without much knowledge, it should be common sense. Good luck, and remember not to look scared

Especially girls who like physics..... (Though It doesn't make a difference because it's a single-sex school). At my current school, the physics teach is trying to "recruit" as many girls as possible to do physics. So far he's going to have about 10-15 boys and maybe 3 girls?
I'm a socially awkward (selective social anxiety) geek.... I'm totally going to not look scared.... I'll just smile and be loud(ish) and keep my feelings of wanting to run and hide under a table kept down - that will do it!
Thanks!
Also, I know we already had this discussion (I think....) but what schools are you applying for?

That is true because (not being sexist at all) but STEM subjects are known for not attracting as many females as males. Like I said, good luck! I'm applying to King's College London Maths School, Harris Westminster and my own school.
