Westminster School Scholarship?

My dd is going into year 10 in her grammar school. I know this is early but she's set on getting a scholarship to Westminster School for sixth form. She got full marks in the 11+, has been on the gifted and talented seem since she was old enough and is predicted all 8s and 9s (straight a*s) for her gcses. (a lot brighter than I am haha). I was wondering how hard the scholarship exam is, and what it contains, there is barely any information anywhere and she wants to be prepared.

In my experience it’s exaggerated.
How extensive is your experience?

I think people assume all the kids are little Einsteins or hothouses with tutors on tap.

A friend of my sister made a comment about DS having his place 'bought' at school - my sister pointed out that he is actally pretty smart (he takes after his grandpa - he doesn't take after me), wasn't tutored and passed some pretty hard exams for his place. People make some horrible comments actually.

Dear needmoresleep,
when did your DD get notified about the waitlist? My DD is waitlisted and a bit curious to know the timing? Do you have an idea of how many people get waitlisted?
Thanks!
