Cambridge interview geography - type of content

I’ve received an interview invitation for geography. The website for my college says that we’ll have pre reading of an article and they’ll ask us questions based on the year 1 content. My personal statement covers most of them, and I am thoroughly studying my statement, but there are some topics that I’m completely unfamiliar with like glaciers and biogeography. Do you think that they’re likely to pick something I haven’t mentioned at all or tailor it to topics/areas that my personal statement leans more towards? Thanks!

they can mention things u might be unfamiliar with, but for those sorts of questions they want to see how u approach an unfamiliar idea, not exactly a knowledge test - u can also ask them to clarify things

That's quite a good point, thank you!
