16+ Exam

Hii
I’m relatively new to the student room. How did you revise for the 16+ (if you were from a state school). I want to do either maths, Chem and bio or physics, Chem and bio. I’m currently going into yr10 this year. How was the test like for schools such as Queen’s agate, Latymer Upper, Goldolphin & Latymer, St Paul’s Girls, Putney High and Lady Eleanor Holles?
Thank you!!

Hello

Yes, I am from a state school and have done year 12. Regarding your options, Maths, chem, bio sounds much better than phy , chemistry, bio. It's because maths is strongly advised I guess with sciences and especially if you are taking physics, its a good idea to take maths along with it.
Now, if you are still unsure what to pick, pick ALL 4 of them and then drop 1 after a couple of months. Picking 4 A levels is a recommended pathway if you are not sure what you would like to study.

For revision, you should search as much content as you can online to help you. Yt channels, save my exams, pmt website and lots of other resources to look out.
My advice is to maintain CONSISTENCY. It's easy to study 5 hrs a day rather than studying 1 hour for 5 days. Please be consistent and just stay on top of your work. THIS IS HARD THOUGH.

I dont know about the schools you have mentioned

Thank you so much! Also when does the sixth form process start, as well as for private/ grammars?

Also is four A-levels manageable? I’m the eldest so I don’t really know what to expect but my friend’s siblings seem to have the idea that it’s completely unmanageable.

I think it has already started! My sixth form is gonna start in 3 days and generally other sixth forms will within a week!

What year are you in?

I’m starting yr10 this year.

Did you do the Latymer test today

why are you applying to queens gate? because i know the school

I got into it in yr7, but I wasn’t eligible for a bursary so my parents decided that paying for sixth form was a wiser investment than the entirety of secondary, so I want to reapply to see if I could get into it.
