16+ Interview Questions Pack
Don’t know what to expect for 16 Plus interviews?
This 63-page guide includes commonly asked 16 plus interview questions from top UK schools, including general personal & academic questions, situational, current affairs & debate questions and subject-specific questions for 16+ interviews on A-Level or IB choices (History, Geography, English, Maths, Sciences, Philosophy, Politics, Economics, Computer Science, Theology and Languages). Gain insight into the types of questions asked at interview and top tips for efficient preparation, written by our Oxbridge-educated team.
N.B. This guide is particularly suitable for those applying to leading UK Schools such as Westminster, St Paul’s, King’s College Wimbledon, Magdalen College School and Sevenoaks, who challenge students with subject-specific interviews in each of their A-Level or IB choices. Some of the questions in the pack are quite tricky to stretch students beyond the GCSE syllabus!
