Westminster sixth form

Hi, I just did the exam for Westminster sixth form and want some advice. I did maths, econ, history and English. Maths is defo my weakness but I did quite a lot of practice, in the exam I found it rlly time pressured, I answered 19/25 of the questions but didn’t have any time to check so I’d say I got at least 2/3 wrong. Econ was ok, but the essay topic wasn’t amazing and I only wrote a page and a half. English and history both went well, I liked both the texts and thought my essays were both good. Someone who’s got in, do you think I will get to the interviews? Thanks!

I finished my exams too yesterday. I did good in maths but I only wrote a page and a quarter in the Econ essay….
I’m also stressing over if I’ll get to the interviews.
I think the results will com out within a week tho, because the interviews are at the end of the month, and for international ppl they would need time to plan the trip.

how did you structure your history answer? I also did the exam on saturday, personally I did a 3 paragraph structure talking about various themes in the source, also how much did you write?

same i did paragraphs on what it said about views on childhood, health and drive to industrialise in the 19th century and then a paragraph on how it was a government interview so more reliable etc. the sample paper question was the same which was great. how about you?

okay, I did pretty similar, I did the workplace environment, childhood treatment and normalisation of injury, I sort of linked it all to classism, I think abt 3 pages. Do you know when results re coming out?

Also just wondering what you mean by did good in maths? Most people I talked to didn’t finish but I’m not sure if that’s normal or not?

Do you mean maths or further maths? I finished the 25 questions for maths pretty quickly, but I only finished 8 questions for further math

I did the exam abroad, but the ppl in my exam room said they didn’t find the questions hard, but bc we weren’t allowed a calculator, they were a bit time pressured

Hi guys,
I recently completed the Westminster Sixth Form entrance examinations and got through to the interviews. I did History, English Literature, Geography and Economics.
I would appreciate any advice as to what I can expect from the interviews and anything in particular that they are looking for that would make me stand out.
Thanks :smile:
