Interview prep 2

Hello, the interview season has been going on for a while now, and I hope you've all had some!
Here a few more links for useful books/websites:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-12177084
In keeping with current affairs, here is a very article explaining the NHS reforms and how there going to happen. Worth a read as it is very probable a question about it will come up (I recommend checking the BBC health news page daily anyways)

http://www.medical-interviews.co.uk/interview-questions-medical-school-interviews.aspx
Here is another batch of questions to help you prepare for interview, these ones are perhaps more relevant than the last ones I posted as they are all related to medical school,I think preparing an answer to every question would leave you very very prepared!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Medical-School-Interviews-Practical-Questions/dp/1905812043/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1297607078&sr=8-2
A very good book for interview preparation, the analysis of the questions is really useful and it covers a lot of topics. However, I went to an interview recently and practically everyone had this book! So try not to give word for word answers because the interviewers may start to notice a pattern.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Succeed-Your-Medical-School-Interview/dp/0749461381/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1297607078&sr=8-5
This is another good book, but I found it less useful than the ICS one. It went into technique and how to answer questions more in-depthly, but didn't cover as many types of questions as the previous book, it's up to you where your weaknesses lie.

I find the Student Room very useful anyway, but this page in particular has lots of information on applying and interviews.

http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/What_you_should_expect_at_a_medical_school_interview
If you have interviews coming up, then the page above will be invaluable. It has information on the way interviews are carried out at all the different medical schools, the people who will be on the panel, the types of questions they ask etc. Worth a look for your medical schools.

http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/Medicine_Applicants_Stalking_Page_2011_Entry
Finally, here is the medical applicants stalking page. If you easily stressed don't visit here, but it essentially has all interviews, offers, rejections, BMAT/UKCAT scores and the such for every University.

Good Luck and I hope everyone gets an offer! :)
