Whilst I didn't personally do the test my friend just did it and he called me and said "Let's just say I'm not getting in". He normally gets 100% on past papers, how difficult were the questions actually?

i found it quite tough, did about 8 of the MCQs and about 5 of the written answers but wasnt able to reach an answer for a couple just showed working. def not my best test and considering how competitive it is i dont think i stand much of a chance. theres a long thread of ppl applying if you look up KCLMS, some of us are talking about it there!

absolutely horrendous, 0/10. The worst part is that I had a friend who did the test last year and said “it’s not that bad actually” so I was expecting something alright before that paper slapped me in the face. I did alright on the MCQs, I think i got 8/10 and idek on section b lmao. luckily kclms wasn’t my first choice.

Normally my grades are decent and I am especially great at problem solving ones. This exam was way harder than specimen questions and what I thought. time was limited as well, I am expecting nearly sll of the questions I answered to be correct , I left 2 MCQs and 2 long answers blank(the normal questions I left blank were parts b's). KCLMS is my first choice and I thought I did not have a shot after I finished the exam, but everyone did bad. So expect more than what you think, dont be sad people.

Kclms was my first choice so I’m so bummed cuz the test was way harder than expected. I managed to do all the MCQs but for section b I think only 2 of my answers were right out of the 5 I attempted. What were those questions towards the end of section b 💀

Yeah I got the same.
I bombed the test though. I only answered 7 MCQs and 5 long answer questions.
What do you think is needed for an interview?

I'm so relieved that other people think so, I can't even remember how many MCQs I answered I think around four or five (HELP) and around 6 long answer questions, 2 of which I didn't give proper answers for.
