剑桥上海面试流程简单回顾

诺哈网2023-08-05 08:05:330

今年剑桥的面试好像比两年前晚了足足一个月,其实这里面是有原因的,我们当年,面试和笔试都在上海举行,是二合一的,笔试叫做“At-interview Assissment”而今年剑桥的笔试叫做“Pre-interview Assessment”,同样在10月底举行,根据笔试的成绩决定面试的名单,所以面试就晚了一个月,这个和英国本土的做法一样了。有不少家长问我面试的流程,说实话,毕竟不是我面试,我只能翻翻老邮件,说不了太多,只能给大家一些基本信息,也给以后申请的家长一个概念吧。

10月的某一天,我家先收到了下面邮件,告知你被选中面试,安排在上海面试(自己选择的),然后你就要安排确认,签订不泄题保密协议,付款等等。同时,你还会有另外一封邮件告诉你具体流程。

Dear applicant,

You will have recently received an email from me inviting you for interview in Shanghai.

Due to a system error, there was some incorrect information about your written assessment contained towards the end of the email. The date contained within the table at the start of the email (Thursday 26th October) is correct for both your interview and assessment (there are no Saturday assessments being held).

Please still reply to the original email, if you have not already done so.

With best wishes,

赶紧去看下面这封邮件,这封邮件应该今年有面试的人都已经收到了,(每个学院可能格式会略不相同,安排其实是一致的,当然每个人的面试时间会不一样的)。面试是安排在酒店,每个人都是半个小时,其实这只是个大概时间,可以略早一点到酒店,一到酒店,就可以看见剑桥的工作人员,查名单,然后告诉你到几楼,哪个房间。我们到的比较准时,一到就被直接叫上去了,有些外地过来的,来得太早,被要求在外面等。孩子说,到了房间门口,在外面等前面一个人面试完出来,她就进去了。

I write in connection with your application to the University of Cambridge to study **** (此处隐去专业名)

A

programme of interviews has been arranged in Shanghai and I would like

to invite you to attend as follows below. Special preparation is not

expected though you should be reasonably familiar with schoolwork in

relevant areas.

1.

Interview

Interview Date:

Thursday 26 October

Time:

10.30 - 11.00

Location:

Hotel Equatorial, Shanghai

Interviewer:

Dr *****

Written Assessment:

14.30, Thursday 26 October

听孩子说,基本问了姓名等基本信息,就开始交火,教授出题,学生一边做题一边讲思路,有纸笔可以写,嘴巴不能停,老师也会在过程中提问。做完一题,老师会再出一题,继续做。我家做了5题,听说最多也就5题,有很多人只做了1-2题,(严重怀疑是不是不会说话,只会做题)不过事实证明,做多做少和录取没半毛钱关系,做错做对也很录取没半毛钱关系。根据介绍,老师主要看你的反应,表达和解题思路,你不会,他正好教你,看你的接受能力。我家比较惨,在最后一题上,方法和老师不一样,答案是对的,而且速度快,比老师的方法简洁。但是她说,她没教会老师,而老师教她的方法,她能理解但是嫌弃太复杂,速度慢,哎,没对上,运气不好。我觉得她没有把她的解法说到让老师听懂,这可能是一个大瑕疵。不过这些只能是猜想。

2. Further Information

Please read very carefully the additional information below as it contains all the details you need to know about your interview and, where relevant, your written assessment. There are also details to be found about the payment necessary in order for you to attend this interview.

3. Acknowledgement

Please reply to this email without delay, quoting your COPA reference number in the email subject line, to acknowledge that you have received this information and will be attending. We will not normally send further confirmation and simply look forward to meeting you later in the month. Please also let us know if you no longer wish for your application to be considered and therefore will not be attending. You are expected to attend the interview at the time allocated. We are sorry if the time or location should be inconvenient but the constraints of the timetable are very tight and only in very extreme circumstances will an alternative interview time be possible. There is only one sitting of the assessment so under no circumstances can we offer you an alternative for this.

Yours sincerely

由于在上海面试,所以除了面试以外还有考试,叫:At-interview Assessment (今年改成和英国一样形式的pre-interview Assessment),其实就是笔试,今年笔试大家在10月份都已经考过了,我这已经是过时消息了,给后备看个大概吧。我们是同一天,两个地方,时间还是略紧的。早上面试完,匆匆忙忙赶过去。到了那里,发现一堆人在都在了,老师安排在门口休息,大多都是家长陪过来的,还有一两个英国学生。到了差不多开考时间,老师根据科目叫学生分别排队,核对信息后,各自进入不同的教室,开始考试。不同专业,考试内容和时长也是不一样的,详见下面邮件中表格信息。心疼下数学专业,考的时间最长,120分钟。

Additional Information

1. 2017 interview arrangements

Interviews vary in length and content, though are mostly about 25 minutes in duration. Please note that a proportion of interviews may be recorded as an experiment; these will be treated as confidential and no permanent record will be kept. There are no dress regulations, other than any that may be specified by your school, as we prefer you to be comfortable in the interview.

Please note that all shortlisted applicants are required to pay an interview fee of £150 and you are now required to pay this without delay and by no later than 17.00 (GMT) on Friday 13 October 2017. You must pay the interview fee using the link below:

Overseas Interview Fee payments

Please note that failure to pay your interview fee by this date will invalidate your application. Payment terms and conditions, including your right to cancel, can be found on the University of Cambridge Finance Division website.

Enquiries about the interview fee payment only should be directed to: appfees@admin.cam.ac.uk

When you come for your interview, try to set off in good time for the journey and thus ensure prompt arrival, especially if you are not familiar with the venue. You will then be more relaxed and be able to give a better impression than if you have had to rush to arrive on time, or search to find out precisely where the interviews are being held (though at the venue the location will be signposted).

The interview venue is:

Hotel Equatorial Shanghai

65 Yanan Road West

Shanghai

200040

Please inform the University of Cambridge desk in the hotel reception of your arrival.
