Westminster Schools entrance exams

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if anyone reading either attends Westminster or knows anything about the entrance exams. I have read so many forums and they all say the same thing-they test your thinking rather than your knowledge which I am fine with but practise does not hurt! Thank you so much in advance. My exams are in November btw.

For maths, most of the paper is fine, but there are few challenging questions which are like UKMT maths challenge style, so they're not exactly very wordy, but require careful reading

I did not take the econ exam, so I don't know. But most people who did it didn't find it difficult.

By the way did you take the biology / philosophy exam? Is biology exactly the similar structure as 'The Challenge' paper / BMAT section 1 style, which requires more problem-solving skills based on GCSE knowledge? Also I'm being curious if there will be many graph analysis? Thank you!!

Whats Physics and Further Maths like? Is it just based on GCSE knowledge? And if so do I need to study for the whole GCSE course or just parts of it? Otherwise is it like UKMT? Asking questions that need more skill to solve rather than knowledge?I am doing Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Biology next year, pls help!

Recieved a Harrow School offer, both schools are internationally presitgious schools (Harrow, the better :3). Therefore, have a strong relative link in terms of admission process.

The questions are GCSE, so read ahead, if you haven't covered the entirety of the course, discuss the paper with your professor during the interview, saying that you havent covered certain topics.

Well done! My daughter will prepare for the next round and she'll probably choose Maths, Physics and Chemistry. Any advice will be highly appreciated!

Hello, I'm trying to apply to Westminister School (sixth form) but I have a few questions for the entrance examination.
I'm planning to take maths, physics, chemistry, and biology. How hard are the tests and how long does it take? Are we allowed to bring calculators for the math exam? What kind of questions do they ask you? Are they mostly from the GCSE textbook questions and how did you prepare for the exam? What is the limit to pass the entrance examination and what kind of questions do they really ask you in the exam?
