Surrey vet med interview

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone who had an interview for vet med at Surrey could share their experience. I'm quite nervous about the 4 mins that i have to answer the question without follow up questions. I don't know if i'm supposed to sit in silence or keep talking after I answer. Also ik you aren't allowed to share the exact questions but if anyone could say what sort i should prepare for or what kind of prep i should do- past interview qs, scenarios that'd be great. Thank you :smile:)

Hi! I haven't had my interview yet either but I do know that you have to sit in silence until each 4 minutes is up if you finish your answer. You can probably add stuff during that 4 mins but your answers don't need to last that long. From reading about Surrey, they seem to put emphasis on moral reasoning so there will probably be a few ethical scenario Qs that come up as well as other types of question. I find reading the RCVS day one competences and code of conduct is helpful in knowing what to do in ethical scenarios. Good luck!
