How did everyone find it lmao, it was definitely way harder than expected. I had some points to say but I feel like I could have gone more in depth or talked about more.

sorry to hear that, I think I did have a few points to say but I wish I could have thought of more or at least elaborated better on the points I already made

I literally just thought that I'm the worst applicant ever but it seems like the questions were to others not just me. Hopefully we get offers

I’m really nervous for mine now 😞Why do they ask such hard questions, how do they expect applicants to know the answer to them

Don't be! Every applicant is facing the same level of difficulty in the exam and you're being measured against your peers. As long as you've done your best to prepare, that will shine through.

If you didn't do your interview yet then we are sorry for making you nervous. An advice for someone who done the interview is to talk slowly so you can think more. The questions aren't very hard they just require some thinking. We also had a lot of technical difficulties so it made us more nervous. Good luck in your interview and don't worry about the questions.

Do they change the Qs? I did mine in early December and thought they were really nice. If they change the,, how is it fair?

Hi there, I missed the debrief session due to time zone difference (international student here 😅). I just wanted to ask if there was anything important that I should take note of? Thank you!

We had I’d say one okay role play. Rest I found awful and couldn’t think of anything for at least 2 questions. Another was worded weirdly I think but I couldn’t get my head around what they were asking

Ah wow, that sounds very different. Had two role plays so they must have changed it

I'm a re-applicant and had an interview last gear with qub and the role play was way easier last year this year I was just confused

I’m an international applicant who did my interview in mid January. I also found many of the interview questions extremely hard. At a couple of stations, I was shocked and didn’t know what to say. But that’s not to say that the interviewers were not nice. They were. But the questions were difficult.

We had 2 as well but the other one was so strange. Surely they can’t have changed the questions?

Mine interview was also in Jan. All of us are waiting for offer in March. 🤞

I don’t think the exact same interview questions were used on all interview days?

That seems quite unfair because students are judged against each other in specific categories, so the difference in difficulty wouldn't make sense. I think they had to standardise it to some extent.
