Thank you! I had no idea about this I'm so glad I know now. I currently don't do much musically- would this be a problem and something I should pick up soon?

Also, are they hard to write? Ie do they give enough time or give obscure questions

Ahh so we have some similar subjects! Let me know what you may do to revise for it- there's such limited information on the test online.

How did you find the open day? I absolutely loved it.

I was talking to my guide for such a long time- I was the girl with the extremely curly hair and colourful dress

My plan is similar to you i.e. just consolidate everything during the summer. But I'm yet to decide exactly what that involves!

After the talks I was unsure as to whether or not I still wanted to go to the school as it was a bit overwhelming but after my tour I have this feeling that it's the school I need to be at. My tour guide was brilliant and he knew so much about the school. I don't think I saw you but I was wearing a blue top, black jeans and had a tan leather jacket in my hand. Did you get a chance to talk to the philosophy and theology teacher? I didn't because he was constantly busy.

No problem


They have a specific box for music, so as long as you can write something; it doesn't have to be anything too spectacular. Try joining your school choir etc.. But if you don't have anything, I'm sure you won't be too disadvantaged as long as you have enough to say for the sports section.
You have 15 minutes to write it and there weren't any obscure questions so as long as you've planned it beforehand you'll be fine.

The talk was quite overwhelming but the second the headmaster mentioned community service I loved it. That's honestly what I care about the most.

I didn't get a chance to talk to the philosophy and theology teacher but I may just send an email. He was saying that his email address was on the prospectus they gave us...? But I don't know exactly what to write.

My first tour guide was so quiet and I could hardly hear anything but later on another student offered to give me a tour of the library etc and he was amazing and showed me that this was truly the place for me.

So they're just the basic questions that I could hypothetically prepare for? Thank you so much for telling me this- I had no idea.

Do they expect about 50 words per question? More, less?

When I talked to the other teachers I asked about the curriculum, the intensity of courses, the exam and I asked the history teacher if doing four essay subjects could hinder success in all of them.

We actually missed our tour group because my sister wanted to wash her hands so we went to the toilet and by the time we got to the deans yard our group was gone! So the teacher in the purple tie picked out a boy who showed us around; I think his name was felix?

I loved the library! Personally I think it was amazing and I loved how it had many different rooms; I think it gave a homely feel to it.

Okay- I'll email the teacher of philosophy and theology similar questions. Is there anything you want me to ask before I email?

Yes they do ask for a personal statement at the start. You have 15 minutes to write it and they ask for extra curricular activities regarding music and sport and also why you want to go to the school and your future plans etc.

i wish i saw this

Never mind. I hope the exams went well though

Depends which subjects your taking. The sciences weren't too bad and you definitely can't revise for them. I found the geography really hard but as long as your familiar with a map you'll definitely do better than me. And maths was just your average maths but harder. Think UKMT. Good luck!
