I got into both CLC and charterhouse with academic scholarships and i think that the interviews are probably the deciding factors. They get applications from loads of smart students so just being confident and being able to stand out from them in your interview is totally crucial. I think that showing that you are willing to take part in all the school has to offer (clubs, performances, events) is very crucial.
For CLC, the economics exam was simple (but i do Gcse econ so i assume it would be more tricky for a non Gcse student) and you just need to show your ability to develop a logical chain of reasoning under time conditions. for CLC there are also verbal reasoning and maths or humanities pathway tests and the verbal is 11+ type things like alphabet codes. The pathway tests just require you to have an understanding of a comprehension. To practice for this i would recommend doing the UCAT practice tests (the comprehension parts) as they help train your mind for these types of questions. Maths at charterhouse was quite simple but id recommend practicing the UK math Olympiad past questions for it.(just to be extra prepared)
For CLC you also need to write an essay in June which will decide whether you even get to sit an exam or not.
For charterhouse you also need a personal statement which will also decide that. SO THESE ARE VERYYYY important. For CLC, i believe the reason i ended up with the academic scholarship was because of my essay, as the admission officer emailed my mum (2 months before the exam date) specifically to say that it was the top scoring one out of 200+ applicants and saying that I was likely to get a place, so if you can ace the essay, it can be your saviour if you maybe have a bad exam day or a dodgy interview.
Finally, i would recommend also applying to wellington college as that's the school that i chose in the end for a variety of reasons. LOL
if you have anyyyyy questions at ALL don't hesitate to ask as i wish i had someone who told me all this stuff when i applied.

I was accepted into Charterhouse, but I was applying for the IB. However, I can tell you that the exams had a pretty good ratio between knowledge (Memory) and analysis. I don't think I did that well in the exams, but I did really good on the interview, which I think is why I got in.

tysmmm, I have many questions to ask do you have socials? Instagram?

Yh my insta is precious_okeo
