Yes.
I know two students who are interviewing next week, both from state schools.
You can help him by sitting down with him and asking him questions about his hobbies and the book he is reading and make sure he is watching the news and has something to say about the major issues of the day and knows a bit about who are the major figures who run the country.
Also ask him about his favourite subjects at school and what subject he is looking forward to do that he does not do currently.
Also talk about any sport or music he might do.
He will find the time will go in no time.
Hope it goes well for him.
They might ask him some questions about a poem or a short piece of comprehension so make sure he knows his literary devices. DG
Wow - Thanks for the super fast reply! The pointers are really helpful.
I was also wondering how many normally interview -as it what are the odds on success - the school have not been especially forthcoming as to the numbers interviewed - number of places....
Thanks again.
