Kent Test (11+)

The Kent Test: Supporting Your Child's Journey

The Kent Test is an entrance exam used by grammar schools in Kent to select students for their Year 7 intake. Here at South Borough, we understand that navigating the Kent Test process can be a time of both excitement and uncertainty for parents and students alike.

What is the Kent Test?

The Kent Test consists of two multiple-choice papers, each lasting one hour. The first paper assesses English and Maths skills, while the second focuses on Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning. The test is designed to identify students who are working at the top of their year group.
