KCS sixth form entrance exams

hi,
does anyone who sat the kings entrance exam last year mind sharing what the general paper and English paper were on - were they something you can prepare for?

I picked the second option, hardly read over the first one. What question did u pick, and what were ur points? Idk what to think of the General Thinking stimulus material. I've been hearing a lot of differing viewpoints. Math was not too bad. Although the topics were simple, the questions were kinda advanced.

I finished it, but had to guess a few questions. What exactly did u have to describe for English? I srsly regret not picking that question. We had to write a story for the other one.
