I had an interview at Reading last year it wasn't group interview. My interviewer asked me things like why do I want to do Pharmacy (mind you I'd applied for medicine before hand) she asked how I think my A level subjects would help me on this course. Also a maths question without using a calculator - this wasn't very hard. They asked me a few chemistry questions about the benzene ring and different functional groups
It wasn't that bad an interview really
Hope that helps

Offer was 320 points with a B in chemistry but I ended up getting BCC with a C in chemistry and they let me in but that may just be because it doesn't have accreditation yet but it will do this year as the first lot are graduating.
Yeh it's amazing Reading is a fab place and the course is good, quite hard but still good!

It is an informal interview, and they ask questions like: Why Reading?
Why Pharmacy?
