St Paul&#x27;s school 16+ entry exam

Hello all,
I too have the intention of applying to St Paul's School for 2022 entry. If anyone has any tips either for the entrance exams or personal statement, they would be most appreciated. For reference, I intend on taking Maths, History, Economics and Latin.

I applied to phy chem bio and econ, I think the economics paper is quite nice but I haven’t learnt all those things in bio cuz I’m currently studying igcse and the syllabus didn’t cover :frown:

So I did my exams too, Maths bio chem and history. I found maths the most difficult and couldn’t answer a few but that’s because I hadn’t learnt some of the stuff; as I am not doing further maths will there be some leniency? I did alright in Chem, it wasn’t a disaster but defo not my best and history and biology went amazing! Do you think I stand a good chance? Will my maths let me down, ultimately? I hope not..

Hi, I got an email from St Paul's offering me an interview. Did anyone else get through? Congrats if you did and unlucky if you didn't - definitely not the end of the road. I took Maths, Further maths, Physics, and Computer Science btw.

They said that the interview would be on 20th but I have my interview for Brighton College on the same day so I'm hoping I can do it another day...
Did anyone get a different date for the interview?

How many people applied initially and how many get invited for interviews? I know 20 boys get offers from the interviews.

Thanks in advance,

Hi sorry I do not know about those stats although you could try find it on the website, my current school gives the stats.

May I know what sort of questions were in the Maths and Computer Science papers please? I saw on the website that the computer science test would test more of reasoning rather than memorisation. Also what sort of questions were in the critical thinking and problem solving papers?
