I thought mine went well although i took a while on the physics brain teaser because it didn’t click quickly but I don’t know if that’s what they were looking for or not it’s hard to say! From everyone when interviews with on the day they found the interviews fine so it’s hard to judge how it went comparatively.

I took up the whole 45 minutes because I asked for a moment to think before answering each question and also tried to extend my responses as much as possible. Idk if I overdid it but I tried to make use of the time as much as possible

i had to have the brain teaser explained to me several times and it being a 'teaser' i think it was something to confuse you and make you really think and most people on my day said it was confusing so think we were all in the same boat with that (pun intended)

Hahahaahha good one, I'm just hoping because it took us time to work through it that could work to our advantage as it shows problem solving integrity etc because some people I interviewed with just knew it straight away

Were there many girls on your days? There were only 2 others when I went, so was wondering what the ratio might be.

I asked the undergrads about that, most years have around 35 40 percent so not too bad, but our year could just have less girls that reached the final stage
