City of London School for Girls 16+ exams

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has done any of the clsg 16+ entrance exams, and if so,would you have any general tips on how to prepare for the maths and essay paper?
Thanks so much

Thank youu, I'll probably practice some of those soon
Which subjects are you applying with?

Maths, Cs, economics and biology! How are you revising for the maths paper?

Essay plans and practicing writing some essays

Gl to you too

I feel like I'm the only one who found the maths one quite hard😭 I think I did alright on the general and essay paper though
How did u find them? Also where did you sit

I don't know if I remember seeing you ahah
I wore a navy top and a red skirt, I have brown hair and was probably looking quite stressed😭which other schools have you applied to? And I 100% agree because I was so lost on that last question , the people seemed quite nice however really competitive and ambitious which was slightly intimidating, there were loads of essay topics to choose from and it honestly wasn't too bad but everyone was coming out of the maths one saying it was so easy😅

i sat at the very back lmao i had trouble finding my desk so i was just walking around until someone helped me
i wore a bright pink hoodie and i wore pink headphones during the exam, what do u look like i wanna know if i saw u
also abt the maths i found it hard too in some parts, like the last questions made me glad i applied to other schools bc i was thinking how i was gonna fail
for the general it was okay, found the wording for some questions kinda odd and hard to understand tho
also i hzd to leave straight after taking my exams bc i had smthn to do so i didnt get to talk to the other ppl applying but bc ur taking three exams ik u did so what were the other ppl like also how was the essay exam like what did they ask

Very late reply but could you tell me what type of maths questions there were, I'm sitting the exams this month and don't know what to revise😭😭😭 also what type of questions are there in the critical thinking exam (hopefully you're still active on this account)

hii there was mostly geometry and quadratic equations, the first questions r just normal gcse questions at the beginning of the exam (think first 10) the last few r probs closer to imc questions but still not too difficult. I wouldn’t be worried i was just being dramatic lmao. the critical thinking had a large amount of graph interpretation as well as verbal reasoning. if u get thru to the interviews feel free to dm me for any help ❤️

hey, sorry this is really late but im also sitting the exams this week, roughly how many essay questions r there for each subject, dw if u cant remeber. Also is the critical thinking really hard?
