brighton college 16+ entry

hey all, i'm new here and i just wanted to ask a few questions?
i'm taking my brighton college entrance exam (16+) in about a weeks time and i'm really stressed about what's in the tests- i've found a few forums here from a few years back that suggest knowing the gcse maths syllabus well, but apart from that i don't know anything else that's going to be in the test. i'm already a student in the UK so i have a vague idea of what the structures for stuff like english essays are (my school hasn't really covered that yet) but i would love a little bit more guidance (although i know not too much detail should be given).
any help?
thanks!!

my brother tried a few years back, i think they tested english and maths. he screwed the maths bit quite bad because it covered quite a bit of a level maths. i am not entirely sure if they also tested additional things based on your intended subjects though. he definitely struggled with the interview... Good luck my friend.

just give it your best shot, they're picky for a reason. best case is you get in and worst case is you learn a lesson out of the experience!

hi just wondering if any of u guys got offers/accepted a place for bc at sixth form?! i got in and have no idea whether to accept or not and really want to know people going😭

i got rejected after the exam 💀 (i.e., stage 1) but i think u should accept even if u don't know anyone, it's a good good good opportunity and ur bound to meet someone!!

Hi! I was wondering how the exam went for you because I’m doing it soon and would benefit from some advice. Thanks.
