Westminster/sixth form English interviews/entrance exams

I am a Y10 student looking to apply to Westminster/sixth form for entry in September 2025. I am just wondering what the entrance exam and interview will look like if I am applying for English A-level? Will the discussions involve the books I am reading for my GCSE or just my interest in the subject in general? Thanks 😊

for the exam its an essay on an unseen extract then for interview you have to analyse a poem kind of on the spot and then they'll either ask you about your favourite book or the books you're studying for GCSEs. personally my interviewer asked me what my favourite book was and then just questioned me pretty intensely on it lol
