About the Kent 11 Plus exam
The Kent Test uses GL Assessment format and covers English, maths and reasoning. It is sat in September of Year 6. Kent uses a specific standardised scoring system: children who live in or near Kent and who score highly are prioritised for grammar school places. The test is harder than standard SATs and requires specific preparation, particularly in verbal and non-verbal reasoning.
Kent grammar schools vary significantly by location and selectivity. Schools in Tonbridge (Judd School, Skinners') and Tunbridge Wells are highly selective and consistently oversubscribed. Tutors with specific Kent Test experience know which question styles appear most frequently and can run mock tests that mirror the real exam conditions in September.
Registration deadline
Kent grammar schools (run by Kent County Council) require registration in June of Year 5. The Kent Test is held in September of Year 6.

11 Plus in Kent: common questions
How does the Kent 11 Plus test work?
The Kent Test is administered by GL Assessment in September of Year 6. It covers English (reading comprehension and extended writing), maths and reasoning (verbal and non-verbal). Children receive a standardised score, and those who score above the qualifying mark receive a 'grammar school recommendation.' This recommendation is required when applying to any of Kent's 36 grammar schools.
Do I need to register my child for the Kent Test?
Yes. Parents need to register their child with Kent County Council in June of Year 5. Registration is free. Even if you are considering grammar schools, registration is required: children cannot sit the test without registering in advance.
How competitive is the Kent 11 Plus?
Around 75% of Year 6 children in Kent sit the Kent Test. Approximately 25% receive a grammar school recommendation (the pass). For the most selective schools like Judd School in Tonbridge, competition is much fiercer: applicants often score well above the minimum qualifying mark. Children typically need to be working at a Level 5+ standard in maths and English to be competitive.
When should we start 11+ preparation in Kent?
Most Kent families begin structured preparation in Year 4 or Year 5. The September test date means preparation should be well underway by January of Year 6 at the latest. For highly selective schools in Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells, starting in Year 4 is common. A tutor can assess your child's current level and create a realistic preparation timeline.
