The Interview Primer Course is a course of pre-recorded lessons, designed to prepare students to answer Oxbridge interview questions. The course is available in four different versions, tailored for Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, and Physics and Engineering. It distills data from hundreds of real interviews into a compact course filled with crucial material. Six video lessons, each lasting approximately 90-130 minutes, provide a systematic and thorough introduction to broad topics that frequently form the basis of interview questions. Comprehensive notes and a worksheet of original problems with solutions accompany each lesson. The worksheets are designed to ensure mastery of the concepts taught in the lesson. There are over 150 original questions in total, with solutions that provide a thorough analysis of each question. The on-demand nature of the course enables students to work at their own pace, with on-demand support available when needed. Students who study the Interview Primer Course frequently report that many of their interview questions were familiar.

Past Oxbridge interview questions are not publicly available, and many interview questions listed online are inauthentic in style, so it is difficult for students to practice questions of the right style and difficulty. We have collected a large number of authentic interview questions from a range of Oxford and Cambridge colleges, from Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics and Physics/Engineering interviews. Students on the Vantage Interview Preparation programme gain access to a subject-specific question bank of 80+ questions, all of which have been asked in Oxbridge interviews in recent years. The questions have been carefully selected to provide a representative sample of the appropriate difficulty, and good coverage of the main topics that tend to arise. We provide detailed solutions that carefully deconstruct the problems and walk the student through every aspect of the thought process required to solve them. The solutions also place the problems in context, clearly explaining how aspects of the questions could be varied in another problem, and how one might deal with these variations.

Whilst the Interview Preparation Programme is available to study at any time, it is not purely a self-study course. If students encounter a point of confusion with course content, or would like to ask a question, they are encouraged to send in an email or message. Most questions can simply be addressed with an email response, but brief troubleshooting calls are also possible if needed. We endeavour to respond to all questions as quickly as possible and guarantee a response within 48 hours.

It is essential that interview candidates are experienced at verbally explaining their thought process to difficult problems. We offer authentic mock interview experiences, which consist of two 30-minute sessions, each followed by a 15-minute discussion for feedback and coaching in interview technique. Students are asked real interview questions from recent years, tailored to their choice of university, college, and course where possible. Our interviewers are highly qualified members of the Vantage Admissions team, many of whom are real Oxbridge interviewers and/or Oxbridge supervisors. Furthermore, our founding director has coached students to gain admission to almost every Oxbridge undergraduate college. After each mock interview, students receive an estimation of score on a scale of 1.0-9.0, and a written summary of feedback to highlight areas for improvement.
