Is it possible to prepare for an interview? If so what can I do?

Like any exam, it is absolutely essential that you prepare well for the Oxbridge interview process. This can be a relatively grueling admissions process and so tutors WILL be able to seperate the candidates that have and have not prepared fairly easily. The first thing to do is to meticulously cover everything written on your personal statement; if you have included an article or a book it is important that you are able to remember it well, and be able to engage in an intelligent conversation about it. Your capacity to analyse and think on the spot will also be tested. It is useful to practice these skills leading up to an interview
