Interviews at Oxford - horror?

Oh yes, I got 6 marks for that sectio with which I was very pleased with considering.

The BMAT is all about speed, if you are stubborn when it comes to questions you are stuck on then you need to get out of that habit before Novemeber....

I still wonder too. Especially when I was told I was the only person on my interview day (The last Tuesday where they only did them in the morning) to get an offer. There were some very very very smart people there who were certainly superior to me...

I wonder very much myself

I got 13.5 for that last section, which was a pleasant surprise. Reassuring, considering I was taking English Higher. But pleasant.

Show off. Grr.

What, you didn't get a 15 on your superb ranting?

Seriously though I thought I had screwed it up superbly because my thoughts were everywhere by the end of the BMAT.

I foolishly picked a title I didn't have a very strong opinion on, but still got 7.5, which was a pleasant surprise given that I was on the verge of tears throughout after the ordeal that was Section 2. I'm normally really eloquent, so I could probably have done a lot better than 7.5 - certainly if the essay had been Paper 1 rather than 3 I'd have probably scored higher.

Do you get the papers all at once? Or do you get them as Paper 1 first, which you have to do in the time alotted, then paper 2, then 3, or can you do them in whichever order you wish?
