YES! My friend went on the last one and said it was really underwhelming and the tutor asked really awkward questions, but I'm hoping mine will be less scary :smile:

Thank goodness it's not just me! I'm absolutely terrified, especially since they've already given out offers! It's like they're trying to put you off going :frown:

i only got my invitation yesterday so i dont know yet! kind of panicking and therefore not got actually round to doing any revision! what about you?
:smile:

Sorry only just saw this!! Well I'm working on my gap year atm so I am quite busy, but yeah I think I'll go over the books I mentioned in my PS as well as revising a bit of Bio and Chem. My friend said the interviews are very 'how you think' not 'what you know' so I'm quite confused!

Your friend is correct! Although they'l be a basic level of understanding assumed and knowing extra things from revision isnt going to harm you! :smile:

Oh for sure. Not taking this lightly! Am a bit worried that my not being at school will affect me though, as I don't know if my brain is in the right mode!

I went to one last month, they basically just asked why biochemistry, why sheffield, what parts of my A level course do i enjoy most etc :smile:

There was nothing academic, the guy who interviewed me was really nice and friendly and it was really relaxed, so don't worry! :smile:

I'd firm KCL, then insure either Liverpool or Exeter.
