What is the best way to prepare for my history interview at Oxford/Cambridge?

The key thing to remember about interviewing at either Oxford or Cambridge is that you deserve to be there! Tutors seriously consider each individual application, so they will only invite you to interview if they genuinely see you as a potential student. You need to bear this in mind throughout the whole process, and it will become an instantly more enjoyable experience. Make sure you have read over, and are comfortable with these 3 key things: your personal statement, the piece of written work that you will have sent in, and any books/articles/theories that you have mentioned in your statement. Tutors will more often than not ask you about these things, so its good to feel as prepared to keep you feeling as relaxed as possible. As well as these more familiar things, you will be asked to talk about a source which will either be given to you in the interview, or about 20 minutes before, so you can prepare (I got given both!). For this, make sure you are happy talking about provenance, and if you think it would make you feel more comfortable, use past HAT sources from the History Faculty website and just jot down what you find interesting about the piece, as well as any inferences you get from it - I wouldn't say this was compulsory though, tutors love it when they see you thinking on your feet!As I touched on before, I would say one of the most important ways to feel prepared for an Oxbridge interview is to just relax. Tutors purposely make it a challenge, and a lot of the time don't care if you can't come to a 'right' answer, they just want to see how you think. Talk your thought processes out loud, and don't be afraid to ask for guidance if you're not sure - they won't mind! If you go in with a not-too-intense attitude, interviews can be a really enjoyable intellectual experience, which can leave you with an even deeper passion for your subject, if you let them!
