    • @TheMounten1
      @TheMounten1 3 года назад

      7 in further maths is rather poor for Cambridge but it should do. Cambridge doesn’t really care about GCSEs especially for you since you didn’t do the exams. If you do well in your A levels (2-4 A*) then you have a decent chance.

    • @JakeClarke

      So I’d recommend going over everything in your ps and writing an explanation of how that experience has helped develop your understanding of engineering or just going more in depth into it and making sure that if it comes up you have a lot more that you can say about it. Then I’d also have examples of things that you have done to prove your skills (eg presentations for communication, projects for teamwork etc). Finally just look over your mechanics work and make sure that you have a decent understanding of it all. Other than that you should be fine! Good luck 🙌🏽

      @lenaa180 Год назад +1

      @@puddleduck1405 My interview was for BME students so they may change depending on the course. We had 2 group activities.
      In the first one, we were shown 4 graphs, and we had to discuss what type of graph we thought they were (exponential, linear, sinusoidal, etc.) and how could we relate each of them to biology (enzyme activity, blood tests, etc.).
      In the second activity, we were given a case and had to discuss about it. In our case, it was about giving out vaccines in underdeveloped countries, and we were given like 8 features the vaccine should have and we had to rank them in order of importance (it should last x days, it should be maintained without refrigerators, etc.). In this part there is no right or wrong answer, it is just your opinion.
      The interviewers were in the call observing our interactions, and if they thought someone did not talk enough they asked them questions. They just want to see how you think and work in group, but don't worry. I thought I had not talked enough compared to other people in my team but I still got in!
