What you get
- A parent report the moment the practice test ends, no account: answers by paper, where to start, and three short sessions for this week.
- Print it or save it as a PDF. Saving to a free account is optional.
How the range is worked out
- Each question has a difficulty level from our Kent question bank. Difficulty levels are set by our question writers.
- In each section we find the ability that best explains how many your child got right, allowing for how hard those questions were.
- Kent Test scores are standardised: the children who sit it average 100 in each section, with most between 85 and 115, on a scale from 69 to 141. We place your child's ability on that scale.
- The total adds the three sections. In 2025 a child needed 332 or more in total and at least 108 in each section to be assessed suitable for grammar school.
- With five questions a section the range is wide. A full timed mock covers far more of the test.
Questions
Is this an official Kent Test paper?
No. The questions are our own, written to the Kent Test's format and pace, and each one was solved independently by two solvers. Kent County Council publishes a familiarisation booklet.
How accurate is the score?
It is a range, because 15 questions cannot pin down one score. Kent mock 1, a full timed rehearsal, is free and narrows it a lot.
How long does it take?
15 minutes: English 4, maths 5 and reasoning 6. The real test is two papers of about an hour each, plus a writing task that is not marked.
Do we need an account?
No. A parent report shows straight away: answers by paper, where to start and three sessions for this week, to print or save as a PDF. A free account is optional; it keeps the report and works through every answer.
How many children pass the Kent Test?
In 2025, 5,035 of the 11,248 Kent children tested (45%) were assessed suitable for grammar school, by score or by headteacher assessment.
