Congrats on getting the interviews, that’s a big achievement.
This is what you may expect from each of the interviews:
1. Biology & Geography

•

Brush up on your recent topics; focus on understanding concepts, not just memorising facts.

•

Expect problem-solving or “explain your thinking” questions talk through your reasoning clearly.

•

Be ready for mini case studies or practical scenarios.

2. General Interview

•

Could cover your interests, current events, or ethical questions.

•

Be ready to explain why you like the subjects you’re studying.

•

Show curiosity and reasoning skills; they value thought process over “right answers.”

3. General Tips

•

Practice answering aloud to a friend or family.

•

Prepare a couple of questions to ask them shows engagement. (This is very important, you need to have some questions, which should ideally be information they can give you)

•

Stay calm, think before answering, and be yourself.

You’ve already impressed by being invited focus on showing your enthusiasm and thinking clearly.
Practice your quick-thinking and coherency.

Good Luck,
Ulaw,
Alfred.

heyy, im very much a maths person and im predicted a 9 in it, but the math test was honestly quite hard. i think there were 22 questions, but i only answered maybe 17, I would just say that focus on trying the last questions in past maths papers, and the questions in the maths paper was not in order of difficulty so dont be thrown off when the first question is really hard. I would also recommend practising line equations and circle equations ect as that came up in a few question.
English, my weaker subject was really good. It was a choice from narrative prompts or descriptive prompts so i chose descriptive. So id say overall english was really good, maths was really hard, and general was just confusing
