Your entry to Cambridge University is just an interview away ... A seriously tough interview Want to don the cap and gown like this mob? You'll need to do some serious soul searching first.

Well now an engineering professor at the historic uni, Richard Prager, has set up a website to go public with the sort of questions that wannabe pupils would face in an interview. "Some schools are more experienced than others at preparing their pupils for competitive engineering entrance interviews," he told the Daily Mail . I-Want-To-Study-Engineering.org aims to level the playing field by providing a collection of technical interview questions that everyone can use for practice. So how would you go?
