2018 16+ Westminster School Offer Holders Thread // also other private schools

I currently go to Blackheath, and I have no intention of staying on

I guess I can forward to you the papers I would have been looking at right now for the general paper which you sit on the interview day.
Would you mind if you pm'ed me your email? Just to share it with you on google-docs, It is a good collection of 50-60 general or tsa papers similar to the westminster ones and most are around 20 minutes long.
My plan was to do atleast 3 every day. Oh well.

Hi! Would you mind sharing the papers with me as well? I'm from Hong Kong, and don't have much idea on how to prepare for the test :/ Thanks so much!!

The thinking skills assessment was as expected, similar to the past paper Westminster provided and it consisted of 30 questions. The subject interviews were quite mixed and I was given the impression that it depended on good chemistry between the interviewer and I more than the difficulty of questions. However it didn’t leave me with a definite feeling of being offered a place or not. But I know that if I’m not accepted it’s because it isn’t the school for me ☺️

it's about more than that though, isn't it? i mean, westminster is bang smack in the middle of london. some people are better suited to schools in less urban areas and there are plenty of countryside boarding schools where pupils 'succeed' and 'go on to great universities'. if somebody is driven and is destined, for want of a better word, to succeed, chances are they'll achieve that success no matter where they are. my current school is in no way comparable to westminster, but a good number of people go to oxbridge each year and the ib results are some of highest in the country. i for one am realising now that sure, i would've loved to westminster, but i couldn't take the subject combination i wanted and ultimately that would've left me quite unhappy. westminster isn't the be all and end all and for some people it just isn't the right school.

i don't understand why I didn't get an interview at Westminster? It has left me doubting my ability. Other schools of the same calibre have asked me to interviews and offered me places. Westminster my dream school didn't even ask me to interviews. I keep hoping something went wrong and they'll call me and say, sorry your paper slipped through our fingers. I think dream world is definitely better than reality.I don't know how to get over the disappointment.
