thanks! I just brushed up on my r&r form and the basics of ethics (like the 4 pillars), just treat it like a conversation and you'll be absolutely fine

watch loads of YouTube videos and attempt the actual thing using mock interviews really helped me do well in one of my role plays. go through as many questions as possible but don’t burn out

I second the suggestion of YouTube mocks, also ask your friends and family to act for you! Give them a situation you’ve found online or made up, e.g. they’re your neighbour and asked you to look after their pet hamster while they were on holiday and the hamster has escaped, you have to break the news to them. Remember to introduce yourself and check their identity before starting, use SPIKES and give a warning shot (e.g. “I’ve got some bad news, would you like me to continue?”) for bad news, and it’s a good idea to ask if they have any questions of if there’s anything else you can do to help at the end. Above all remember to listen to them rather than following your own script in your head, don’t have a rigid plan because you need to adapt your answer to how the actor responds. Don’t stress, you’ll be fine!

I'd advise to just listen and ask open questions, and just again respond how you would in a normal conversation that you'd have with a mate

Is there anyone who haven't heard back from keele at all about interviews T^T. I'm stressing out so much cause so many people have gotten interviews and offers already and I'm just like 😃 with my application status saying 'decision pending'. Genuinely am going insane.

I just got my invite on Friday evening so they’re definitely still going through them haha - don’t be stressing too much about it ☺️

Also this might sound incredibly stupid but if you’re using a phone to go on the portal scroll down as there might be an “Interview Details” section. This entire time I’ve been waiting for the “Decision pending” to change to “Interview pending” but that doesn’t change until you book your slot. On Friday, I saw that the “decision pending” hadn’t changed and was about to close the portal when I noticed it last second lol.

Me neither and it is stressing but they are taking interviews into April so I say we still have almost a good month to hear back hopefully with interviews. Also good time for lots of prep.

Hi,
does anyone know whether role play is in the Keele interview ?


No one is allowed to say as it would ruin the confidentiality of the interview - one thing I would say is don’t ask anything about the interview if you can’t find anything on their website

Does keele give more interview info after your receive an interview invite?
