w.t.f....I am going to an interview at the LSOP they won't ask any of those questions...right...I mean the super hard ones.
lights_out ... do they really in all seriousness ask all those questions? Well obviously they don't ask them ALL to the same person ... but seriously if someone had asked me some of those when I was 18 I wouldn't have had a clue.

I have heard that many unis ask questions that they dont even expect fourth year students like yourself to know the full answer to. What they want to see is how you react under pressure when asked something you know nothing about and what sort of thought processes you have whilst thinking about the question. They want to hear an educated guess rather than "i dont know".
Don’t worry Chiba, LSOP is very informal. However they will ask question regarding your personal statement, why pharmacy and why LSOP…
I was also asked…
Where do you see yourself in this profession?
Please tell me about a current issue in the media relating to pharmacy?
And finally, do you have any question?
The whole thing lasts for approximately ten minutes.
Good luck.

Emmz, believe it or not all the question mentioned above were asked at Mpharm interviews. I was asked quite a few of them myself. Manchester and Nottingham are quite cheeky
