The words to use
- Curveball
- A prompt you can't prepare for, such as an unfamiliar instrument or an odd question, used to see how you think without a script.
- Describe, interpret, connect
- A frame for objects and images: say what is there, offer readings and pick one, then link it to dentistry through something you noticed.
- Prepared task
- Work set before the interview, like Bristol's presentation last cycle. Expect questions on it, so know why you made each choice.
- External help
- Using AI tools, chatbots or another person during an online interview. The Dental Schools Council says applicants proven to do this are disqualified.
