Oxbridge Interviews

Oxbridge Interviews

• For Oxford and Cambridge, you will need to sit for a subject test. Based on the results of the test, you will be shortlisted for interview. You will generally be interviewed in December after your A levels via Skype. The interviews will take place in a stipulated test centre e.g. Raffles Institution.

• For Cambridge, if you opt to be interviewed in Singapore, the interview period will be between your Prelims and A levels i.e. mid-October. As these interviews are brought forward, there may be a written test to take at the same time.

• For both interviews, the main objective is to assess you on your teach-ability and hence your fit for Oxbridge. In other words, you can think of the interview as a mini-tutorial with your future professor. If you are unable to solve a problem, the professor would guide you and assess you on your potential to understand and grasp concepts on the spot.

• While you are not required to have university knowledge, it would be good to read beyond your JC syllabus and understand concepts related to your course of choice
