KENT TEST 11+: An Essential Guide to Passing the Kent grammar School Test
Learn how to pass the 2025 Kent 11+ Test with this ultimate guide for your child. Packed full of practice sample questions and answers; this comprehensive guide has been specifically designed to test whether your child is suitable for a placement in Kent Grammar Schools.
WHAT IS THE KENT 11 + TEST?
In September of 2014, the Government devised a new and challenging 11+ which students must take if they wish to attend a Kent grammar school. This test is an adapted version of the previous 11 Plus (11+), whereby the test assesses pupils’ abilities in numerical and literary understandings.
The test is designed to assess whether grammar school is a suitable choice for the student in question.
This guide, created by How2Become – the UK’s leading Kent Test publisher, is packed full of hundreds of practice test questions (based on past papers), detailed explanations and insider advice that will help your child fully prepare, and give them the best chance of passing the Kent version of the 11 plus in 2025.
ABOUT THE TEST
The test has the “potential for flexible development offered by the new process, which will give (education) a wide range of assessment information without requiring children to spend longer in exams” (Roger Gough, Cabinet Member for Education, 2014).
Primarily, the aims and objectives of the 11+ Kent Test are basic, yet effective.
The Kent Test aims to:
- Ensure students have an equal chance of passing the test.
- Provide a challenging test that assesses student’s literacy, numeracy and reasoning skills.
- Assess student’s skills and how they perform with regards to numerical, literary and reasoning ability.
- Ensure students who are thinking of applying to grammar schools are suitable and capable candidates who are able to demonstrate the expectations of grammar school requirements.
THE KENT 11 + TEST CONSISTS OF 2 MAIN ELEMENTS WITH A TOTAL OF 5 SECTIONS:
SECTION 1 – ENGLISH
The English part of the test will focus on everything pupils have been taught during their English classes. The English paper will look extensively at grammar, punctuation, spelling and comprehension, in order to evaluate pupils’ literary abilities and skills.
SECTION 2 – MATHS
The mathematical part of this test will draw upon mathematical equations, procedures and terminology to demonstrate numerical understanding and ability.
SECTION 3 – VERBAL REASONING
The verbal reasoning part of this test assesses a candidate’s understanding of relationships between words, letters and numbers.
SECTION 4- NON-VERBAL REASONING
The non-verbal reasoning and spatial reasoning parts of the test look at the differences and relationships between certain patterns and shapes. Candidates are required to look for similarities and differences to identify the pattern in order to answer the question being posed.
For example, some shapes may be rotated, others may be reflected. Thus, you must be able to identify the pattern and relationship between each of the shapes.
WRITTEN EXERCISE
Alongside the English, maths and reasoning papers, there will also be a written exercise that will be carried out on the same day.
Please note, that while this written piece is mandatory and every pupil sitting the Kent Test must complete it, it will not be marked alongside the English, maths and reasoning papers. The written exercise may be used by a local head teacher panel as part of the assessment stage of the Kent Test process.
