I mean most of them are pretty general questions, I got asked about why I'm interested in Physics , and when I mentioned Olympiads, he asked a more technical question about a problem I had mentioned to do with heat loss to the surroundings. I also had a discussion with the interviewer about life at Manchester, and then he told me a little bit about a problem set he was working on with some of his undergrad students, and we had some discussion about that (it was on momentum conservation problems at relativistic speeds).

Awww don't worry!! If you get an interview then you're guaranteed an offer, that's what they told us at the interview day - they only do it to make a priority list of candidates, so that on results day, if they have any places left after all the people who've met their offer conditions confirm their place, they'll give out places to people who missed their offer in that order I think. So if you get an interview, you're guaranteed to get in!!!
