Pharmacy interview at Cardiff

I have an interview for pharmacy with Cardiff university in two days and I'm really worried.
This is my first interview and I'm unsure of exactly what to prepare for, there is also going
to be a maths section during the interview which is giving me the most anxiety, as I'm not
very strong in maths.

Does anyone have any tips that could help me, I'm desperate.

I have an interview with them soon too. Do some research,but I’m guessing for maths questions it’s going to be something not too complicated but perhaps conversions,dosage calculations and etc? I assume that but I think it’s all down to researching things😭 good luck 🤞🏻

OMG that’s very good to hear 👍 May I ask about how hard the questions were? Were maths questions very confusing? Thank you very much 🙏

Thanks for replying! I applied mid October and received an acknowledgment of receipt about a week later, but haven’t heard anything since 😭

Don’t worry,I didn’t hear back after the acknowledgment very quickly either🙏I think the university still may be processing all other applications but it doesn’t mean that you will not get an interview,you probably will. good luck 🤞🏻

I hope it went well!
I’ve got my interview in just over a weeks time for Cardiff so hopefully it goes okay, did you work in groups or was it a 1-1 discussion as I’m struggling to find much about it on the link, also did you use a teams account you had already for the interview as im not very technological 😂 so a bit worried about actually getting onto the site x
