How to prepare for University of St Andrews
- Each station is scored independently by a different assessor — a weak station doesn't sink the ones before or after it, so reset your mindset walking into each one.
- At least one station uses a trained actor — practise staying natural and empathetic when responding to someone in character, not just answering a question.
