Westminster School 16+

Hi all, I’m applying this year for economic, philosophy, history and art history. Does anyone have any tips for the exam and preparation? This is my dream school so I’m looking to work as hard as possible.

Great combo of subjects. For prep, focus on building strong subject knowledge and how to write high-quality essays under timed conditions. Practice structuring arguments clearly (especially for econ + philosophy) and use evidence/examples well.
Do lots of past papers, get feedback where you can, and keep up with wider reading (news for econ, key thinkers for philosophy, case studies for history/art history).
Also, don’t burn out. Consistency is more important than cramming. If it’s your dream uni, start early and stay steady 😊
