I m doing South Australian Matriculation now. I intend to take health science/medicine at either University of Auckland or University of Otago. The interview is coming soon and I need to prepare myself by expecting what questions will the interviewer ask, and what are the best answers, in order to convince him/her that I m eligible for this course. Thanks.

The best answer to give is the truth. Medicine (and in the UK thats different from health science) is such a demanding course and so long and intensive that if you were to give dishonest answers to get urslef onto the course and one aspect of you that you had not revealed at interview were not able to deal with one aspect of the course it would be failing yourself and society as a whole.
Expect to be asked questions like "why do you want to be a doctor", "what are the three most important qualities in a doctor", "what do you think medicine will be like in the future", "how do you deal with Stress and hard work", "what do you like to do to relax", "how would you suggest the implication of public health policy X is carried out" like I got asked about how to get people to eat more fruit and veg, any sporting hobbies or interests that ou have told them of in the application form is fair game.
These are all question that I was asked in my interviews for med school. Each interview is different depending on the candidate and the interviewers. Just be yourself and go witht he flow. When asked what I liked to do to relax I actually told them I liked to go to the pub for a large gin and tonic. I'm now in fourth year of the med school course at that very university.

they might ask you techniques you may manage an offended customer or somebody attempting to return something without receipt. Have a favorable physique of concepts. You get alongside nicely with others. Smile. soften them with your eye-touch and robust physique- language. Your outfit sounds rather stunning. The stupid question have a hidden meaning. The question "what animal might you be?" pertains to your character. in case you assert CAT.. they're going to think of you're lazy and opt to take a seat around and wash your self and have people safeguard you. elect an animal like a monkey or something.. monkeys are exciting.. no longer frightening.. they're smart. My instructor advised us to p.c.. a shark in view that they're agressive and robust yet you may come off as confusing and psycho. think of with regard to the hidden meaning and decide something exciting, sane and social. great hero.. that's difficult. Superman is stable reason he's regulation-abiding.. he's a superb guy.. enables people. Batman is my fave yet he's kinda anti-social and too "dark"for A&F. do somewhat diagnosis and decide a character that they have got on no account heard of. Describe the stable characteristics that would artwork nicely with their agency. stable success
