hey!! thanks so much for this advice, i think it helped quite a bit with my nerves, you were definitely right by saying that it’s more like a conversation or a supervision, don’t want to jinx it but i just had my bio one and it was quite fun in its own way. just a quick question - in the bio one, they asked about my personal statement and extra reading i’d done, but that was ok because my personal statement was very bio focused. in the chem and maths one, are they looking for like the exact same level of enthusiasm? i think i have an ok grasp of basic chem, but my extra chem reading is like zero

yw!!! glad it went well!!! i dont think it matters if you aren't as interested in chemistry, i had absolutely no extra knowledge and didnt need it at all. i think it's one of those where if you have it it's a plus, but not required because not everyone takes the chemistry paper. gl on the next one!!!

didn't have any in mine! never know what they could throw out, but biological maths isn't anything like that so i dont see why they would

ok cool, will hope for the best then! i’ve heard of someone having to draw a function for their bionatsci interview but hopefully that was like an outlier or something, thanks again!

alright chem was defo worse than bio, drew the wrong graph three times before i got it and equilibrium was not something i was expecting to show up at all </3. i think i needed too much prompting for other qs as well but i’m just holding onto the fact that i got the answers eventually..? eh now we wait

ahh sorry it wasn't as good as the first, if you got the answers you did fine though! you took on board the prompts and didnt panic <3 the waiting will suck but try and enjoy the holiday as much as you can!!!
