test and interview help

I have an interview and one hour admin test next week for what looks like a good job. It is based in a school and depending on the hours may be ideal. They are to be confirmed later - I guess if they get the correct applicant it may be exactly what the applicant asks for.

It has been over 6 years since I last had an interview, although I have been working part time since then.
As it is school based should I mention my dc in interview? (eg, if questioned about term time working)

Also, are applicants still asked why they want to leave their current role? What answers are acceptable? I want to leave because my current boss has a grimace every time I have to leave (at the end of my core hours) and questions when I am in next and has recently stopped me working from home.

Anyone have any thoughts on what kind of things maybe in the test? I know the test will be based around the role and is on a computer!! (letters, labels, reports?) I am trying to look into more recent computer packages not that familiar with latest versions. Any online recommendations for tutorials to brush up my skills?

Googler Search Criteria based interviews. These are the most commonly used a give a good grounding in what to expect and how to answer.
Regarding why you want to leave; suggested answer - new challenge, you like learning new things.
Admin test may involve proritising tasks,use of english/grammer and basic word/outlook exel . Good luck!
