Interviewers are trying to see how you think
Remember this advice isn't official. There is no guarantee it will reflect your experience because university applications can change between years. Check the official Cambridge and Oxford websites for more accurate information on this year's application format and the required tests.

There were two interviewers in each interview, with one doing most of the questions while the other wrote stuff down.
I did ENGAA past papers and questions from Isaac Physics.
