Hi
My DS had academic scholarship interviews for 3 indies. They all comprised interviews with several people, either panel or individual & he was asked trickier questions than he had been faced with in the exams themselves; like difficult maths problems. At one school he had to read a passage and answer questions on it. All wanted to know about interests, both in and out of school & were also keen to hear that they were his first choice! I would say it's very important to be smart, polite and enthusiastic.
