11 PLUS KENT TEST 2024
If you wish to apply for a Grammar School in Kent, but outside the Medway boundaries, your child must sit the 11+ Kent test.
There are three papers:
English and Maths combined multiple choice (60 minutes)
Verbal and Non-Verbal & Spatial Reasoning combined multiple choice (60 minutes). The NVR and Spatial reasoning sections are divided into smaller, individually timed sections with examples at the start, allowing children to be familiar with the task before starting and ensuring they spend a relatively equal amount of time on each type.
English Creative Writing task (40 minutes, only assessed as a decision maker where the maths and reasoning marks are borderline)
The multiple choice tests are computer marked whilst the creative writing is hand marked. The scores are standardised, according to age, so that all children can be compared equally and the youngest are not at a disadvantage.
