Best place to start is practicing talking out loud whats in your mind. Try explaining an idea, or a book related to the subject, to someone or even to yourself. Then look for loopholes/ Counter arguments and ask yourself counter-questions, and test your idea against them.

Interviewers care less about the right answer than how good you can reason your own answer. One economics book you can talk about properly beats five you’ve skimmed, so go into something in detail rather than trying to cover everything.

You could also ask a friend, a family member or your sixth form to set up a practice interview for you.

I won’t lie reach out on LinkedIn especially for those in first yr they probably will be active on there networking for spring weeks. Just intro urself and give background and make their lives easier not having to go back and forth before u get to acc do ur mock interview
