For King's College London Mathematics School Admission Test, what should I revise?

I was wondering for what I should I revise for the KCLMS Admission test. KCLMS is currently my priority for Sixth Form, since I want push myself for University. I am currently in Year 10, but I want to put myself ahead of the game for the 2025 Exam for next year, and be my most prepared for the test. What should I revise?

If you are already in KCLMS, it would be great, if you would reply and inform me on what would be on the exam. Thanks!

Haven’t taken it before, but I’m preparing for Westminster school 16+ maths, and I’m mainly doing SMC past papers, and looking at GCSE further maths. Basically make sure you know everything really well, especially GCSE stuff

Hey I am a class of 24 graduate of KCLMs and can say I practiced mainly using problem solving techniques for the test through a variety of methods. IMC i thinks a good start as well as just in general doing alot of maths/ reading about stuff outside of the curriculum to help build lots of skillss and tricks you can use. I would note that I believe the duration and stulenof the test has changed a tiny bit since i took the test with the shortening of the time as well as the introduction of some multiple choice questions as well as the longer style ones. Any other qs feel free to ask.

Why did you choose kclms? What were the grade requirements? Any other tips for the test? What do kclms offer that others dont? How were the interviews, what did you do? Can you give me a typical day/week? Are the ppl there rly smart? Extracurriculars/clubs? How do they help with UCAS applications?

Thanks!

I chose KCLMs for the simple reason to study maths. But there were alotnof nice included benefits I didnt know about like the access to KCL libaries and olympiads/challenges/programs to excel. Not many other tips then make sure to rets and eat on the day. The interviews are just like a chat to get to know you but it was quite nerve inducing. Typical week had 4 study sessions and there were 6 periods a day minus friday where we could leave an hr early fue to sport. Lessons were Maths :Core Stats and Mech . Physics lesson and an As lesson . All teachers imo were very good and i did really enjoy the classes and whiteboards as it allowed collaboration. The people there imo are another level smart it was actually humbling but i did enjoy it as it challenged me to do more and keep up with them so dont see that as any discouragement. There were alot of extra curriculars like physics olympiads/astronomy olympiads /smc/BMO prep with KCL lecturer / Rec Maths / Chess etc and they grant alot ofnoppurtunities to partake in like oucc (cs challenge). Ucas had alot of help with choices and personal statement along with prep for exams and interviews. Even help with other choices like apprenticeship/ degree apprentichip. Id highly recommend i wnjoyed every second and the whole community feeing is really good imo. Anyways im happy to elaborate on any bit in particular cause tbh there loads more I could say but idk how much depth youd like. TLDR : I really enjoyed kclms and it was probably the best 2yrs ever
