Westminster 2026

I’ve applied for bio chem maths and further maths for Westminster and the entrance exam is on nov 8th but I started revising today. I was wondering if anyone who’s done the Westminster tests before could recommend what I could do to prepare cuz there’s not that much info on their website especially for bio. Also my school hasn’t finished covering gcse content yet so do I need to do that myself within the next month and do you think it’s realistic.
Thanks :smile:

I left the valve question blank 😭. I left at least 10 marks worth of questions blank for bio but honestly chem was not too bad cuz like I found the compulsory question and the first part b question easy but the last one i picked the one w chromatography and it was so hard.

Yeah I wish they did a similar type of biology essay entrance exam to the one they put on the website. How did you do the chromatography one?!?! I also did the first part b qs but I forgot the formula to calculate the Rf value for the chromatography one🥲

Omgg yeah cuz i revised all of topic 1-6 content for bio hoping to write an essay so that i could literally write abt everything we learned but instead they decided to give us that horrendous paper. Icl idek what I did for that chromatography question im pretty sure i got it wrong. Good luck tho i hope we both get interviews. Gotta hope for the best 🤞🤞
