How to prepare for University of Cambridge

  • This is a panel format, not MMI — you'll build rapport with the same 2-3 interviewers throughout, so a coherent, evolving conversation matters more than nailing any single answer.
  • Panels here grade how you reason through an unfamiliar problem, not whether you already know the answer — think out loud, even when unsure.
  • Structure your reasoning explicitly — state your assumptions, weigh the options, then give your answer, rather than jumping straight to a conclusion.
