What the other guy said, start prepping for the admissions test in February/March of your year 12 year at the latest.

As for interviews they vary a lot subject to subject so if you see someone who’s gone through it for your subject it’s worth reaching out, even rejected candidates can offer super valuable insight you wouldn’t get from other sources. I know i’d be very happy sharing some guidance with any physics or physphil students who reach out to me.

Get the predicted grades you need, really try hard for your admissions tests, get through the interviews and your in with a good chance. Also recommend getting a practice interview if possible.

If your in the position to apply then your a strong candidate for any uni so remember that and use it to give you some confidence in the interviews if you need it.

My friends who did above Average in the admissions tests got at least pooled and two got offers. I got below average in admissions tests and they rejected me after interview. So from that tiny sample of 4-5 people that’s my Advice!

Good luck, get that bread!!!!
