No, you're my competition. I think you should talk about how you think the supervision system would be a good group sex opportunity.

Sleep!

Aside from that, note that the interviewers are normally glad to see some signs of intelligent life. If you don't know the answer to a sciencey question, don't sit there looking around the room for a full 60 seconds going "errrr..." like one of my friends did. Tell them how you're thinking of approaching the problem and the difficulties you're encountering. As long as you don't talk absolute rubbish, that'll be better than saying nothing, and can be quite advantageous.

Sleep. And be smiley and friendly :smile:

Other than that, I don't know :biggrin:

Just think positive. If you think all the time that you are doing badly and won't get in, you will make it worse, so just think positive :biggrin:

Good luck! :smile:

Try and relax and smile etc. If you act too nervous it will make them nervous...also don't be afraid to stop and think. Don't look around the room going errrrr but a thoughtful 'hmmmm' can do the trick :wink:

Danfel, you'll be thankful yours is late. You have less time to scrutinise the experience till you go nuts with despair and doubt.

Oh and... I vaguely remember staring at the paper like a lost sheep. And I tried to give my interviewer an answer without any working. My memories are driving me nuts!

Erm, a month is plenty of time. To be honest, it is completely pointless to agonise over something that has already happened. You can't change anything, so once it's happened, spend the rest of the day thinking what a complete knob you probably were and then move on, have a good Christmas and before you know it you'll be opening the letter.

Yeah it is still a long time but I am actually looking forward to getting it out of the way - at least then the process is out of my hands and I need no longer worry about what 'I' can do. I also have January modules to revise for so agonising over it will only be counter-productive...I may allow myself a brief session on the train home however. :biggrin:

It's actually pretty late for a Christs Phys Natsci interview, some guy from my sixth form college got interviewed at around 5th November last year.
