Don’t get hung up on the twenty questions one. My daughter did 3 rounds in the 8 mins. Got first one quickly then had a v difficult one that she didn’t get and then almost got to the third answer but ran out of time. It’s not about getting the answer correct, it’s about logical thought processes. She did receive an offer post interview.

What are we meant to do for Question 2 if we have no work experience in a clinical setting? I had some planned it but it was cancelled. I assume we can say something like 'I saw a case in a video' or 'A case I read in an article/journal caught my eye and I researched further' but it's a bit more awkward

Have you done any work/work experience in a clinical setting e.g. pharmacy or opticians or dentist. Remember it doesn't have to be in a hospital or GP practice

I have had work experience in a general practice but it was more administrative and not clinical, I have done research into cases I’ve seen just browsing the internet and watching documentaries but nothing from real life. The closest I have really is family experience but I don’t really like referencing them in stuff like this tbh

Virtual work experiences like Observe GP and the Brighton Sussex one have a lot of interesting cases on there

Yeah I was worried about q2 as well, I thought they wouldn't be as fixed on it considering how little has been going on in the past 6 months. Anyways, we move :P might email them and ask if online stuff would count?

why would it not count? I think we all need to relax a little (easier said than done I know!), they obviously know we've struggled to access experience unlike other year groups and will just want us to draw on what we can and hopefully show that you've done something with your time towards your future degree

I didn’t get the 20 questions answer in my Sheffield interview, and I still got an offer. It’s the thought processes and deductions they’re looking for, not ‘watermelon’ or ‘electric guitar’ or ‘corgi’. Also it’s just one question, I know I completely stuffed up one of the other questions and didn’t get the 20Q one, so I must have done enough in the rest to get the offer.

I insured Sheffield but got the grades for my firm and am now a second year. Good luck all x

Congratulations 🥳 hope you’re enjoying your current uni

how are u all preparing. interview courses are really expensive
