Is IB Econ enough for the Oxford Econ interview?

Was wondering if the IB Econ (HL) would cover all the topics they would ask in the Oxford PPE interview or do I have to study additional topics like Game Theory.

I’m taking Introduction to Comparative Politics and Political Philosophy so hoping that they would also aid in my PPE admission.
On the oxford PPE website it says that whilst its helpful to have previously studied economics its not required so your previous study should be sufficient from what i can gather, might be wrong though. A little extra reading and broader knowledge of the subject would probably be beneficial though so maybe study the additional topics- it’s competitive so you need to work to impress the interviewers. Hope this helps put that into perspective for you a little.
