I passed a similar admissions test and my advice would be to do any practice papers on their website to get used to the formatting; do some UKMT past papers; watch some videos on UKMT prep, proofs and maths tricks to speed things up a bit.

My son has passed the Kings maths school test and has an interview soon. He also took the Imperial maths school test and is awaiting the results.

He prepared mainly by doing the intermediate level UK MT papers. He has applied to Imperial and Cambridge Maths schools too. All three advise this is the best way to prepare. Students we spoke to at the open evenings said the same.

I don't know if it will be true for Cambridge, but the specimen paper for Kings was a bit easier than the actual test.
