Ah yes, Target Oxbridge
For problem solving, they want to see how you tackle new and unfamiliar problems. Each problem can be unique, and so there are different ways to solve different problems. They want to assess how you'd be able to do this, given your current toolkit.
I would make sure that you're solid on your GCSE problem solving skills from CS (if you did it). If you didn't do it, have a read on Bitesize or use Craig'n'Dave. You may want to go even further and do more research.
