11+ 13+ School Online Interviews - What to do with the certificates?

Hi There

Few schools have started doing Online Interviews for 11+, 13+.
They are usually 15 -20 Mins. Questions regarding your interests, music and sports are always asked.

Wondering if a child has received few certificates, be it music, or sports medals etc. Is it a good idea to scan them and send it to school or let the child just mention it in the interviews.

Thanks

You woudn't take the certificates to an in person interview so I really wouldn't send them in. If they're applying for a sports/music scholarship I'm guessing any grades etc would be mentioned on the application form otherwise they don't really matter.

How is everyone preparing for these online interviews? We've been told to expect reasoning style questions so I'm wondering if having some spare rough paper and pen on the table might be useful?

Thanks for clarifying, first child hence no clue.

Hi, Not sure about reasoning style questions, As far I know, interview is not a test, But having a pad and pen couldn't hurt. As for preparation, On Youtube there is a channel called "The 11 Plus Journey", they have a playlist called "independent schools" with 8 videos, i found them useful.
