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.
Also, someone else's experience may not reflect your own. Most interviews are more like conversations than tests and like, any conversation, they are quite interactive.
Test taken:

My interviews were each split in half with each section focusing on one 1A module (Biology of Cells, Evolution & Behaviour, Chemistry and Physiology; 1A refers to the first year of the Natural Sciences course). I was given a model/graph/reaction to talk about in each and was asked questions about what was in front of me. I had to explain where I got my answers from the whole way through which was actually very helpful as it made the interview seem more like a discussion than an examination
I tried just to go over any topics I talked about in my personal statement and re-read any books.
However it’s always handy to know the main topics for your course, as it’ll be easier to link ideas together and help you follow what your interviewer is saying. I would also advise going over your biological maths skills, especially graphs!!
I did the practice test for both the NSAA and BMAT as well as trying to revise from gcse textbooks
I’d say my best advice is to have confidence in yourself. You’re not expected to know everything, and that’s not what the admissions teams are looking for. Don’t try and mould yourself into what you think the perfect student is - it’s better that you just be yourself and show what you’re really passionate about, rather than what you think your university want you to be.
