As Salamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh World!
This post may or may not be of use to you (depending on if you're planning on doing a Computer Science degree at a university where they require an interview). Anyway, it's nearly the UCAS deadline for Oxbridge, Medicine, Dentistry & Veterinary Medicine applications so I thought I'd share a couple of interview preparation resources.
Most unis don't require an interview for Computer Science but a few such as Cambridge, Oxford (duh) and Imperial do. Interviews may seem like a nightmare, so much so they may even put you off from applying to a certain university but don't worry, there's plenty of help at hand! And I don't just mean this blog, there's tons of interview preparation resources and material all over the Internet to help you prepare as best you can.
I've found a couple of documents relating to technical computer science questions you may be asked at your interview (including examples from Oxford interviews). If you're applying Oxbridge, you should be aware that they require an admissions test for their Computer Science degrees.
Cambridge recently (by that I mean like 2 years ago) introduced the CSAT (Computer Science Admissions Test) for ALL Computer Science applicants, not just the Maths and Computer Science ones (although if you're applying for this you'll have to do STEP.
Oxford on the other hand, require the MAT (Maths Admission Test) for Computer Science but that's nothing new. Imperial's requirements are a different beast altogether. Since last year, they have included STEP II as part of their Computing degree requirements so good luck with that one.
Anyway, back to the interview preparation. In short, just be yourself (and oh yeah, make sure you don't mess up the interview). That's literally all i'm going to say. I'm not even joking. That's all I got, good luck.

Hope this helps!
