Interview Tips Before the interview

[scotttyna]

-Find out what form the interview will take – if you know how many people will be interviewing you, and whether it will be formal or not, you will know what to expect.

-Read the prospectus – have an idea about the course and university to show you're committed to studying there.

-Look over your UCAS form – it’s often the basis for interview questions so make sure you can talk about the things you’ve said on it in detail.

-Read over your A-Level subject notes – you may be asked why you took a particular A-Level or what parts of your A-Levels you enjoy.

-Read a quality newspaper or magazine related to your subject – interviewers may ask for your opinions on current affairs or developments in your field.

-Have a mock interview – get a teacher you’re not familiar with to prepare a formal interview to give you an idea of what it will be like.

-Speak to students who’ve already had an interview – ask them what to expect or if they have any tips.

-Think of points you may want to make in the interview – prepare specific things you want to say or subjects you want to discuss if you get the chance.

-Prepare answers for common questions – for example, why do you want to study this course or at this university?

-Think of some questions to ask in return – how is the course assessed? What teaching methods are used? Although make sure they’re not already answered in the prospectus.

-Plan your journey – take into account rush hour traffic and finding the room/building so you arrive in plenty of time.

Thanks for the info..but sometimes if it's not really your day, no matter how prepared you are for the interview, something not so good and unexpected will really happen, but of course it's still much better to be prepared...
