Harris Westminster Examination points

I just received the letter inviting for an interview. It said the cutoff score was 371 and I got 500. I was just wondering what people got on average for this test and if 500 is a lot or not?

500 is a really high score the highest i have seen so far. The avarage is 400-420. I got 497 and i think i got full marks in further maths and dropped a couple in physics.
500 is full marks. I got 417 which means I scraped in. There is a sket in another chat tryna say she got 621, her interview is on "further maths", and is on the 21st of febuary.

Are you sure 500 is full marks because I'm sure I didn't answer two of the maths questions? I attempted them, but I didn't get an answer. And well done for getting 417.

I know a friend that definently got 100% in the maths, and drop a couple marks in physics and he got 479. No one knows how they mark it, mabye they mark it based on your workings, not if you got the right answer or not. Also well done for getting 500. I think average I saw on TSR is in the low 400's. I don't think TSR is representative of everyone because if you scrape an interview or don't make the cut off, you will be less likely to post given the amount of people with really high marks, if you know what I mean. I think average is in the high 300's.

History


Great! Considering my Politics interview, the topic I wanna talk about could probably hold its own in History, even though I didn't do it at GCSE...
