I’m looking to apply next year, could you lmk what preparations i need to do before the test or interview?

For the test i did alot of Ukmt papers, intermediate and pink kangaroo to get started and maclaurin for more focused, the questions are not multiple choice and you are tested not just on getting the solution because youre not always able to do that, you should show your approaches and ideas so they can see how well you think. The spoken interview you will be sent questions if i remember correctly, Prepare for these, mock interviews, get advice from mentors and teachers, use the STAR method (research), be confident, math interview all you have to do is be attentive, i was quite nervous and made a few mistakes but all you have to do is listen and try apply basic mathematics to what they are teaching you, its not about knowing advanced maths its about creatively applying what you already know and asking questions if you dont understand. Good luck!

Thanks a lot, which gcse grades were u predicted or did u get when applying to kclms? and how long before your exam did u start preparing.
