MPharm interviews - Hertfordshire

I've got my interview at Hertfordshire this week and I'm not 100% sure on what they mean by 'basic chemistry questions'. I've heard that you may be asked to name functional groups and list the advantages and disadvantages of stereoisomers, but I'm not sure what else they ask / how to prepare for that. Any help pls?!!

For me they just asked a simple gcse 1 marker chemistry question it didnt even require any revision before hand.

For mine they definitely had a focus on calculations and some organic chem basics like stereochem and functional groups
They also did some dosage calcs, theyre not too hard once you understand what youre doing )

I had my interview today, it was just 2 dosage questions and then a gcse chemistry multiple choice 1 marker question. I was so stressed for no reason 😅

Thats great!!
Hopefully you get to come to herts next year!! Are you planning on an accom?

Yes, although I don’t live too far, I’ll move out for my first year and see how it goes

heyy. was it a group interview online or just by urself? also was there many ethical questions involved?

Amazing!! I'll be in telford for my 2nd year, hopefully i see you around! Also ik its early but if you do end up getting into herts and need advice for y1 I'm here to help!! I would also say that if you havent done bio a level to read up on it over summer because the bio is crazy haha

Okay cool, is that all for the chemistry questions?

It was just by myself, and I had one situational judgement questions where I had to rank the order of how I’d approach the situation E.G A,B,C,D. I just received my Hertfordshire offer today so I can provide any help if you need it
