Make sure they know it is your first choice school-very important to them!

Me too in the same boat.
Is it that they interview all the applicants or those passed the test?.
Any info on this regard , much appreciated

Several years since we sat it I'm afraid. They certainly didn't use to interview everyone.
Good luck

I kinda doubt they would interview everyone. What even those who weren't successful?
My DS is in year 7 at Whitgift.I remember him telling me he was asked about his favourite book/s. At the time he had just finished reading the William series of books by Richmal Compton{sp}. The interviewer appeared impressed by his interest in the books.
I would therefore suggest your DS has a book he can refer to if asked.
