How to prepare for University of Oxford
- 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.
- Be ready to change your position when the interviewer pushes back with new information — sticking rigidly to your first answer reads worse than revising it well.
- Ethics questions are scored on your reasoning process, not on landing on the "correct" verdict — show your working.
