Yeah - boring old england sadly- i live in sevenoaks currently so the school is a 10 minute walk from my house (quite convenient).
It won't let me send anything as it keeps on flashing up as a guidelines warning.

Hii!! Are you applying for 2026 entry?x All applicants sit the following papers: English literature (45 mins), Maths Standard Level (45 mins), Science and Humanities (90 mins+ 5 minutes reading time) This information is available on their website too :smile: If you are applying for HL maths, you will sit an additional paper. I would say the Standard level maths exam was easy and rather straightforward. If you are good at GCSE level (if that's what you do) then you should have no problem scoring a high mark. The HL maths paper was more difficult but your final mark consisted of only the two questions which you answered best so no pressure to complete the whole paper. In the Science and Humanities paper, you pick either 2 sciences and 1 humanity or 1 science and 2 humanities. (You don't necessarily have to answer the subjects that you are applying for but it may be preferable). From what I remember, in the english paper, we were given an extract and had to answer some questions on it. They were rather standard GCSE style questions and not too difficult to answer. You will have access to past papers which you can use to practice.

In addition to the exams, there is a group interview in which you are given a problem and you have to discuss it with your group. Try to be communicative and listen to what others have to say.

Hope this helps!! Feel free to ask if you have any other questions :smile:

Thank you soooo much!! That's really hulpful to me!! I actually wanted to join Sevenoaks for 2025 year10 originally. However there's no place released so I reset my goal to join lower six 2027 entry. Just one question, if I want to take HL sciences, do I need to sit for an extra paper? I am planning to take 2 sciences HL and maths HL. Also, what kind of predicted GCSE do you have to get approximately to join? Thank you again for answering my question!!😄
