Pharmacy Interview HELP!!!!

Hey everyone,
i was wondering what types of question do they at a pharmacy interview when your applying to the Universitys?
The obvious one are -

Why Pharmacy (ie. and not Medical Science etc)

Why this University

Questions about Organic Chemistry

Simple Maths test

'What would you do if' questions, often focussed on ethics or confidentiality

'Tell me about a time when you dealt with a difficult person/situation'.

Lots of useful resources / links - here - Useful resources for MPharm PS and Interviews - The Student Room
Hello! I did my pharmacy interviews a few years ago and got offers for UCL, Nottingham, Manchester, Cardiff and Strathclyde. The biggest tip I can share is having definitely having a read of the '9 Standards for Pharmacy Professionals'. A lot of my questions were based around what they mean and how you would apply them as a pharmacist.
There's usually a few maths and chemistry questions but I wouldn't say they go beyond GCSE level.

Do you get ethical scenarios to answer? I applied to Strathclyde in Glasgow and Robert Gordon in Aberdeen last year but not sure if English Universities are different?
