hi i did the sixth form admissions and passed. (no scholarship as I'm an international student ), four exam papers that are similar to the igcse, I did terribly, because I didn't do the igcse and learned the entire curriculum three months before the examination. Theres also a logical reasoning test? I did terribly in that as well.

Hi! I’m a current scholarship student at CSFC :smile:

)

My advice is :

•

Look at GCSE stuff on your 3 normal papers

•

Look at some higher level GCSE stuff/ lower level AS stuff for the scholarship paper

•

Be yourself in the interview! Try to do a mock interview with someone beforehand if you can + prep some standard answers before hand and try to bring in wider knowledge of your area of interest.

•

For the logical reasoning test. No real way to prepare, but look up some standard questions for LR tests + be quick with your answers - it’s VERY time constrained. :smile: )

If you have any more questions, feel free to DM me :smile:

) hopefully that was helpful.
