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
