I’ve applied to Fitzwilliam at Cambridge for classics as well. Is it your first choice?

Yeah, the four year course. Was highly commended in the essay competition there and really liked the look of it

Oh okay, I’ve applied for the four year course too as I haven’t done Greek or Latin. I’ve already got my other offers, so just waiting for this one. Have you started preparing for the interview test?

I have Latin GCSE so my at interview test is gonna be a little different, I went over the sample one with a teacher to see what areas of grammar I need to focus on most, but haven't actually done too much independently yet. I've got 2 offers from Warwick and Glasgow, but I'm still waiting on Durham, St Andrews and obviously Cambridge x

I’m going to start revising soon, but it’s hard as there are not a lot of materials online and I might not even receive an interview. My interview test focuses more on grammar, so hopefully 🤞 it won’t be too hard. Congratulations on the offers.

Yeah sure, do you not know Greek and Latin, or is just one you haven’t learnt?

I'm re-reading the books I cited in my personal statement and using the Cambridge admission assessment specification, listed on the Cambridge course website, to get a better idea of how the admission test will be like.

But I don't really know how we should prep.
I also found this page, I hope it helps

I'm also prepping for a 4-year interview: unfortunately, it's difficult since we only have the sample one on the specification, but that means we should all be in the same boat in terms of not having had a lot to use to prepare for it!
