Harris westminister entrance exams

hello i am going to sit the exams in January and I am taking maths and biology.Was the math exam similar to ukmt IMC or SMC because some people are saying IMC difficulty and some people are saying it was around SMC difficultly.
How do I revise for biology?Apparently the exam for bio is easy is this true?

Hiya I did the exam for biology and yes it is true they mainly test you on basic gcse knowledge and rather than testing your memory they test your ability to pick out precise data and comparisons. From what i remember the majority of it was multiple choice. Some questions appeared to be igcse old qs but don't rely on memorising because some seemed to be written by them. For maths I didn't do it but people I knew did it .The questions were very THINKY and hard from what people told me who know both go to imperial maths school and kings maths school respectively said it was in-between smc and imc(required lots of time which you dont rlly have) but it was doable if you like questions that require you to think outside the box. Hope this helps
