Staying over at Cambridge?
Hello! I was wondering for those who have an interview at Cambrudge - when will you be arriving at Cambridge?
My main issue is that I have two (!) mocks the day before that finish at around 4.30pm - if I were to take the train this will mean that I won't arrive before 10pm at the earliest and without any disruptions (theres 4 changes...).
Would you guys recommend for me to not go to my second mock (from 1.30-4.30??)

Hi, I've just graduated from Cambridge.
I'd say skip the second mock as the train station is a fair walk from any of the colleges and you'll want to ensure you get plenty of rest before your interview, and not be up late stressing about difficult public transport. Your school should understand.

I'd agree with the above poster. Try and get there earlier as if you're tired, you may not perform your best and you'd kick yourself for it. If you're applying to Cambridge, then your school obviously thinks you're capable enough of doing well so missing a mock exam isn't going to be too detrimental. Which college are you applying for?

Very nice, at least you have a fairly easy journey from the station! Remember that it's not just about getting there in time, you can always have a look around and settle in for the night
