Cambridge Economics Interview

Hi I'm wondering what is the best way to prepare for this interview because I don't know where to start. I've got a mock interview with my Economics teacher and I'm planning on practising some graph sketching but what else should I be doing?

Here are a few (difficult) questions to think about.
1. What is the point of economics?
2. Economics predictions routinely fail, does that cast doubt on the entire subject?
3. Can macro economic outcomes be explained wholly in terms of micro economic incentives?
4. Must we build economic theories on realistic assumptions?
5. Are rent controls a sensible economic policy?
6. Can the Euro survive?
7. What is money?

Yep...as you read, make a note of everything you don't understand or aren't clear about. Then, spend time making sure you achieve clarity in those areas. Enough clarity to be able to discuss them in a stressful situation.In other words, be more harsh with yourself than anyone else would!
Good luck.
