准备牛剑的面试不是一件容易的事，不仅考验你的知识、能力、潜力、逻辑和思考能力，而且面试官们给出的问题也是五花八门，让你意想不到。
那么剑桥又会有哪些面试常见问题呢？下面将为你列举一些面试问题常见的分类和例子，快来看看你能不能答得上来吧！
关于大学/学院的问题
1. Why did you choose Cambridge?
2. Why this college?
这类是最基础也是最简单的问题，一般这类问题的最佳答案是围绕学科、课程、学院和该学院的导师进行回答。
关于课程和规划问题
1. How do you think that you studying this subject can affect society or add to it?
2. How important do you think this subject is in terms of humanity?

这类问题考察你的大局观，也就是你对于自己人生的规划，他们不希望学生只是为了学习一个学位而来读书。
关于个人陈述中的问题
1. What is your favourite thing about your subject?
2. What do you not like about this subject?
你需要非常了解自己的个人陈述，另外，在思考这些问题的时候要注意技巧，比如第二个问题你可以这么回答“目前我觉得xx专业的xx很困难（稍微展开说明你对它的具体理解），但我希望在学位课程中能够更好地理解它。”
