Cambridge Interview Prep

Ive applied for Land economy at Cambridge. I go to a state school and all help I get from my school is one mock interview. I was thinking of getting an interview tutor, is this necessary? Or do i have enough info online or is there a place where I can talk to current alumni with questions?

There are a few posts on this recent land Econ thread that should be helpful for you.

Get your friends or parents to put you through mock interviews just so you actually practice thinking out loud which is counter-intuative to what we normally do.They just have to ask leading questions saying can you expand on that?Can you give another reason why this happens?
They do not need to know the answers,it is about getting you to voice you reasoning.
