Computer Science applicants 2015

Hi guys!
Did anyone apply to Imperial College London?
I just received an email about an admission test. So basically, I need to take a 45 minute maths test on 14th January 2015.
Does anyone know anything about this test?

PS. I am an international student.

Heya.
I am applying for Computer Science course too.
Choices: University of Birmingham, University of Bristol, University of Southampton, University of Exeter, University of Sheffield
GCSEs: 1A*, 1A, 1B, and loads of Cs...
Subjects I study: BTEC Diploma in IT, A-level Maths
AS grades: D* (A* equivalent) for IT, B in Maths (C1: A,C2: E,S1: A)
Overall grade predictions: D*D* (A*A* equivalent), A

The application was sent off only last Friday, therefore I still didn't' receive any offers.
I also haven't fully decided which Uni to choose as my firm choice (if I get to choose), but Birmingham seems real good.

Is anyone else in pretty much the same position as me?

As far as I know it's the equivalent to interview. My interview was pretty chilled but I did get a horrible offer after it. So do well for a nice offer I guess?

Just going on what you have given us (pretty limited info) i'd say you have a decent shot at UCL definitely, Imperial may be a push but wouldn't rule it out

Thanks. What other information would be relevant?

Imperial put a heavy emphasis on maths and because I only got a B I doubt I'll get an interview but it was worth a try anyway.

Btw do you know if UCL have interviews for comp sci?

Lenovo with 8gb ram, intel i5 quad-core 2.4ghz processor, 700gb storage and common geforce 5xx graphics card. OS is Windows 7 home prem. Efficient enough to do its job. What about you?

Nice.
Macbook Pro (both Windows and Mac OS) 2.7Ghz quad core i7, 4gb ram, 500gb storage. It's getting a bit sluggish (getting on 4 years old now), deciding on what to replace it with.
