Walk us through your approach to studying for exams.

Your interviewers are looking to admit students who are not only diligent in their studies and perform well on exams but can also strike a balance in their life to ensure their work is sustainable. They want to make sure you don't burn out by burning the candle at both ends.

Talk about the tools and resources you employ in your coursework and studies and how you stay organized. Exhibit strong time management skills. Explain how you prioritize your work. Being singularly focused is a strength, so long as you can shift gears and exhibit flexibility when the need arises. Whatever your approach, take time to walk your admissions interviewers through your process while providing as much detail as possible. Your answer will help them assess your approach to your work and whether you'll be a good fit for their university.
