im need help on my cambridge portfolio

2

i am preparing my digital portfolio for my cambridge application which is due nov 4th. Ive tried doing research on it but im confused if whether i should put my best work in my digital portfolio or not in case im invited to an in person interview where it would be better to show the interviewer and properly explain my reasoning behind my work. Unless its okay for me to use the some of the work i used in my digital portfolio in my physical portfolio as well.

Submitted work
You will need to submit your own artwork prior to interview. The images you choose should, at least in some way, reflect material you might bring to interview as part of your portfolio.
Your submitted artwork needs to be in PDF format, up to 6 A4 pages, and less than 15MB in size.
Portfolio for interview
If you’re invited to an interview, you will need to bring and show a portfolio of your recent work:

•

You don’t have to include work of an architectural nature, such as plans or sections.

•

We want to see something that illustrates your interests, experience and ability in the visual and material arts.

•

You may want to include drawings, paintings, sculpture and/or photography.

•

If you want to show us your three-dimensional work, it’s usually sufficient for you to show it through photographs.

It is useful to bring to your interview:

•

any drawings you’ve been working on, in any media such as pencil, charcoal or crayon

This should include a variety of subject matter. It can be material prepared for school-leaving examinations, but creative work you’ve done outside formal courses is also welcome.
Portfolio requirements can vary between Colleges. Your College will let you know what they would like you to include.

Speak to your College if you still have questions

I’m just confused whether I need to prepare separate work for the interview if I get accepted or if the digital pre interview portfolio is that same one that would be discussed in the interview
