Does anyone know if it is analytical or persuasive and if so what is the difference?
Because I was trying to book for Henderson practise tests and tuition!

No, you won't know if it is going to be analytical or creative prior to the exam. You will find out when you are about to start the writing part of the exam.
However, this year it was creative :)

Hi, I did the test in 2017 and went to a super competitive school where I got 4 superiors (the minimum to get into MacRob at my school). I think the biggest factor that helped me get in was going to James An College. We were given the four tests per fortnight and did writing every week, and we would go through the solutions right after the test. I highly recommend going as most of my friends who got in also went to James An College. That being said, you don't need to go, and some of my friends got the same mark as me without going, and some who went didn't get in.
All the best!!
