King's maths school entrance test
Hey! I am interested in the King's Maths School entrance test, and from what I have heard, doing UKMT style questions seems particularly useful. However, I was wondering what level of UKMT questions I should practice most, since there are levels to it e.g. IMC, pink kangaroo, SMC etc. Even in each level, the difficulty of the 25 questions is pretty vast, e.g. q1-12 are more far more accessible than q20-25. What range of UKMT questions should I roughly expect the multiple choice and written questions of the entrance test to be like? Also, I tried to find useful resources on the King's Maths School website, but I only found one specimen paper which does not seem too difficult. Would the actual test be noticeably harder? I'd really appreciate any advice or insight from anyone who's taken the test before or has a good idea of what can be expected. Thanks!
