Wellington College 16+ exams

I'm going to apply to wellington next year so I would love to hear your response on how the exams were and what type of questions there were.

hey! I’m doing the exams this year, how was it?? I’ll be writing Further Maths, English Literature and Geography

Hey I am also passing it this year! I have a question, I am pretty good at maths but never did additional maths so I am not sure if I should pass the normal maths test or Further Maths.

Well I'm actually an international student, so I don't even have an Additional Maths option so idk how to help u there. But I'm definitely not a genius in Maths and I think I still did ok (I wrote the paper today btw). The time is crazy though. There were 15 questions overall and so it was a lot of pressure. Do you have insta? If you want to, we can discuss it somewhere else cause these forums are a bit annoying lol

yes I would love to, my insta is lina.benjilani. It's weird though I'm also an international student but I am still passing those exams.

Hi I’m also an international student. I’ll be taking my exams tomorrow, but I can take the Further Maths exam. Do you have Snapchat?

For geography be prepared to answer a broad essay type question it was 25 marks if i remember correctly and on something like how geography affects culture , so be prepared to have a wide breadth of knowledge i didnt do eng lit but id assume the same for that subject too.Maths wasnt too bad but they had really niche questions which i later found in the cgp maths revision guide buried away , like there was a wierd interval table question.The test itself wasnt too bad just nerves tbh.I flopped physics so dont even ask me about that.I ended up not getting in unfortunately it is what it is , i ended up getting all 9s at gcse , so their loss lol.

I did 🫣. I think it’s just a case of interviewing skills and just being outspoken throughout the day

I did. Idk what the assessment interview will be about. Do u know?

We’ll definitely all do fine! I’m practicing to come up with solid arguments and speak confidently-it’s a bit of a challenge lol but I’m sure it’ll be fine
