Mock Interview

Many universities require applicants to attend an interview. Being invited to interview at a university can incite both excitement and nervousness. Being prepared is one of the best ways to combat anxiety.

In some cases the interview is to determine general candidate communications skills and suitability for a given program. The main thing that an interviewer wants to see is thoughtful and considered answers. Don't be afraid to ask to repeat a question or to clarify a point, and try not to get sidetracked by unexpected questions. Just take a deep breath and take your time in answering. University interviews are not there to catch you out and trip you up.

In some cases they will involve questions in the science subjects: one, two or three of them.
