What is the best way to prepare for a Cambridge interview?

Cambridge interviews are nowhere near as scary (or weird!) as they are often reputed to be. Mostly, tutors are looking to see that you actually care about the subject in addition to being good at it. I found the best ways to prepare to be:• Making sure I'd read all the books I mentioned in my personal statement • Giving my personal statement to my friends, who came up with new questions based on it• Reading up a little on my college, as it wasn't one of the most famous • Reading over everything I'd sent in (my personal statement and my piece of writing)• Going over the A-Level content I had learnt at that point in the year
