There is a timeline on their website, and they will update when they know more specifics, I suspect

March I think they will update the website with a specific date closer to the time but rejections will be 2-3 after offers

Hi guys, do you think it’s a problem if you feel that some of your answers may be 4 minutes long, rather than 3? I’m only asking because with some questions I feel like I can talk more about them.

No not a problem they were not strict on timing they will ask follow up questions etc it’s more conversational than formal

Me too. Does anyone know how they’re going to deal with the whole A Level results situation?

It really sucks bad and from what I have seen, there are sixth forms (including mine) where they think throwing full a level papers in Jan/Feb time is a good idea. Many classmates cheat for the in-class papers so I don't even want to imagine the results for those.

Revising as if every test is the real one is my approach although I should avoid burn-out (throw-back to BMAT).

If I manage to get an offer from Sheffield, I guess that'll reduce the burden (ABB offer because of RO),but I want to get the best results I can, hopefully not dictated by the level some of my classmates are willing to cheat.

Remember anything about how the timings were for your base answers? Thanks for the reassurance regardless.

Ngl I didn’t time any of my answers before and I didn’t plan them exactly I more just researched the answers I never wrote a model answer then remembered it and timed it, they do ask follow up questions so try and gather as much info as possible and think about it as you know the questions beforehand it’s not gonna be adequate to not of thought about it but at the same time don’t stress too much about timings and the perfect answer

If I recall at the open day they said last year they were able to gives places to those who had and met offers even after u turn by increasing cohort size so no more than normal were deffered to this year that was cause the government removed the cap so unsure as to this year

That is great to hear because I don't want to memorise answers for my interview next week (sounding rehearsed is obvious, even more so for me) and was wondering whether there was a time I should aim for. Thanks for the reassurance.

@Da14aThis was an issue that I had. It was so so hard not to sound rehearsed when they literally give you the questions. I remember just having main points I wanted to cover and go from there. Probably waffled abit but I suppose that happens when naturally answering questions.

Must be tedious for those interviewing listening to the same thing over and over again too.

Imagine what it was like when it was MMIs...

Most interviewers don't do many sessions each. Maybe there's a reason :biggrin:

I thought I was going crazy...was actually thinking ‘are these guys mad, they literally JUST said this...’.

I’m going to sleep.
