How can I help prepare my child? You can download a Kent Test familiarisation booklet to help prepare your child; this details the different parts of the test and gives advice on how to approach the types of questions asked.
GL Assessment also publishes a range of revision titles, support books and practice papers ; these are not specific to the Kent Test, but will give your child a good idea of the sort of questions they'll need to tackle.

The first test will be an English and Maths paper in multiple-choice format with a separate machine readable OMR answer sheet. The English test is the first section. The whole test will take an hour to administer, plus any admin time before formal timing begins.
Each sub-test will take 25 minutes, and will be preceded by a five minute practice exercise. Children will be required to stop at the end of the English section and wait for instructions before they start the Maths paper. The English will involve a comprehension exercise plus some additional questions drawn from a set designed to test literacy skills.
The second test will be a Reasoning paper in multiple-choice format. It will contain a verbal reasoning section and a non-verbal reasoning section of roughly the same length, with the verbal reasoning being the first part.
The non-verbal reasoning will be split into four short sections, administered and timed individually as in the previous tests. There will still be a writing exercise which will not be marked but may be taken into consideration in borderline cases referred to the local Head Teacher Assessment Panel. Scores will still be age standardised, using a national standardisation. The score range on each paper will be 69 or 70 to as now, so the maximum aggregate standardised score would be Until Kent pupils have taken the tests it will not be possible to predict the threshold for grammar school but it is probable that it will be set in a similar way, using a minimum aggregate score and a minimum level for a single score.
Wherever the threshold is set, those schools which rank children by aggregate score for admission will continue to work down their list of applicants in score order, taking the highest scorers first, so the only effect of the changes will be that the scores involved will be different because fewer tests are involved. You cannot appeal against a Kent Test Result, only against a decision not to be awarded a grammar school place you have applied for.
