Remember, these example question will not do you any good unless you actually answer them, out load, in front of someone who can really evaluate your answer and guide you in giving an even better answer. If you don’t have enough time or people to help you practice for your college interview, I strongly suggest that you just answer each question by writing an answer, and than reading it out load, at least a couple of times to get the rhythm right.
