So many schools. Thanks for the motivation, you have excellent predicted grades! Good luck with your Westminster application and I'm surprised you didn't go there after dulwich prep. What school do you currently go to now if you don't mind me asking also how are you revising for the Kings Maths School aptitude test? Its on the 9th December I believe.

I also recommend that you watch "jake wright" on youtube, I believe he has already graduated from Cambridge but he studied or currently studies Computer Science at Cambridge.

Reply 30

Yes I've heard of him actually.
I currently attend Emanuel School and I have moved from school to school a lot these past 7 years.

Reply 31

I am currently revising with OCR further maths past papers. Proved to be very useful in the Westminster exams.

Reply 32

Oh the fmsq.
I guess I'll start revising that today.
Thank you for that, Magnaviribus.

i agree, the exams were quite difficult. in a weird way i found CLC’s geography and biology harder than westminster’s, but I think that’s because they were gcse style questions with gcse knowledge and I hadn’t bothered revising much

I've just received an offer for St Pauls

Reply 36

Me, inspiring? I don't think so but thank you for your comment
I'm quite humble. I never actually set foot in a private school till september 11 2017, westminster open day.
I've never in my life been to a grammar school and I'm purely state educated and from east london
I'm the product of my hard work and I hope my work ethic and passion for studying/ my studious character reflects the gcse results i open next august.
