Hi,
Well, the interview and test are the last stage of the process and they hold great importance in terms of picking the future class of waterloo's school of pharmacy. My interview went well because I had prepared for it a week prior to the date. If you google pharmacy interview questions, you'll find many practice questions that will give you an idea of what to expect and also give you the chance to build some answers beforehand. Take advantage of the 5-10 minute presentation to really show yourself. Be funny, if you're funny. Be passionate, be warm, be smart (don't use inappropriate vocab or words you may not know, trust me - it doesn't work), be outgoing, talk with confidence... I can go ON AND ON about what you should do, but if you never practice your presentation, then you won't know what you need to work on... so practice, practice, practice... in front of people, not alone, as that will give you the same, if not similar, nervous levels and you'll be able to see what you need to work on.
In terms of the test, I think I had the worst test experience. I wasted 70 mins of the 80 mins provided on the article, as it was long and there were many questions on it. When Julie said "okay, 10 mins left" I freaked out... scrambled to find my essay question, wrote big to fill a page, and was just silly about it. I managed to write down a few well written sentences, but that was it. It got me in, however, so I think if your scrunched for time, use all your power to develop a short, but well-written, paragraph at LEAST. Quality is better than quantity. Check your spelling and only write down words you actually know how to spell. I know this sounds silly, but once again, quality better than quantity and the length of the word.
All I can say is be yourselves, prepare ahead of time, practice and go in there with amped confidence. This is your chance to finally be what you've wanted to be all this time. Regardless of your intentions, everyone deserves a chance to at least present their ideas and this is yours. Good luck!
