11+ interview advice

On the advice of someone over on the Tutoring topic section I bought the 'School Interview Practice' book which has been really useful in getting an idea of questions that might be asked and what answers they might be expecting. I wondered if anyone had any further advice - someone else on the thread there suggested booking a session with a tutor to practice? We don't actually have a tutor so I'm wondering if we're missing a trick here.

We're particularly hoping to get into St Paul's but have other schools we've applied to as well.

Definitely find someone who can give a mock interview. Answering you is not the same as dealing with someone else. Can a teacher at your current school help?

Right, I can see the reasoning behind needing a bit of practice with someone who they're not familiar with. I'm going to start off with the school and then I'll look at a tutor. Thank you @Sparklinggreen for your message.
