Prep tips

  • UCS sets its own papers — not GL, CEM or ISEB
  • English is 1h15m total: 30 min reading comprehension + 30 min creative writing
  • Maths is 1h15m total: multi-choice + core maths + problem-solving sections
  • Interview (parents meet senior leaders + pupils) carries as much weight as the papers
