the weekly loop

Assess → Analyse → Adapt

1

Take the weekly check-in

Every week, a fresh Kent-style assessment lands in your child's cockpit - 32 questions across English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, just like the real papers.

2

We analyse every answer

Kent Test Prep breaks results down by topic, spots the patterns, and updates a living mastery map - so you always know exactly where things stand, without hovering.

3

Practice adapts itself

Weak spots automatically generate bite-sized 'power-up' sets with worked explanations. Strong areas get stretched. The plan rewrites itself every single week.

built for the kent test

Every paper. Every question type.

English and maths topics map directly to the Key Stage 2 national curriculum - including the statutory Year 5/6 spelling word list - so Kent Test Prep supports school learning instead of competing with it. Verbal, non-verbal and spatial reasoning are the Kent Test extras schools don't cover.

"I really like that the system tells me which questions I got wrong and why they are wrong. It also offers me a lesson to show me how to get it right next time, which is really helpful. I also love my frog avatar and have nearly evolved him :)"

good questions

Kent Test questions, answered

What is the Kent Test?+

The Kent Test is the 11+ entrance exam used by grammar schools across Kent. Children usually take it in the September of Year 6. It covers English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal/spatial reasoning, and is set by GL Assessment.

When is the Kent Test, and when do I register?+

Registration opens 1 June and closes 1 July in Year 5 - a hard deadline. The test is sat in early September of Year 6, results arrive mid-October, and school places are allocated on 1 March. Full dates & timeline guide →

What is the Kent Test pass mark?+

There's no percentage pass mark. In the 2026 cycle (confirmed with results on 15 October 2026) children needed an aggregate standardised score of 345+ with no single subject below 111 - and super-selective schools have needed 380+. Pass mark guide →

How many grammar schools are there in Kent?+

There are 32 grammar schools in the Kent County Council area - the largest grammar system in England - and they all use the same Kent Test, so one result covers every school on the list. Full list of all 32 schools →

When should my child start preparing for the Kent Test?+

For most children, steady preparation starting in Year 4 or the first term of Year 5 is the sweet spot - roughly a year of little-and-often practice before the September test in Year 6. Timeline by year group →

How much does Kent Test Prep cost?+

A progressive family plan: £50 per month for one child, £80 for two, £100 for three, then £20 per additional child. Every family starts with a free assessment, and you can cancel at any time.

Which parts of the Kent Test does it cover?+

Both Kent Test papers - English and maths in one, verbal and non-verbal reasoning in the other - plus the writing task, across 32+ question types in the Kent Test style.

What age or year group is it for?+

Children in Year 3, Year 4 or Year 5. The plan adapts to whenever you start and runs right up to your child's real Kent Test date in September of Year 6.

When is the Kent Test and how do I register?+

Registration opens 1 June and closes 1 July each year at kent.gov.uk, the test is sat in the second week of September, and results arrive mid-October. Full timeline in our Kent Test dates guide.

What score does my child need to pass?+

In the 2026 cycle (confirmed 15 October 2026) it was a 345 aggregate with no subject below 111 - and super-selective schools effectively need 380+. The threshold is re-confirmed each October with results. Scoring explained in plain English in our pass mark guide.

How is this different from a human tutor?+

A tutor teaches; Kent Test Prep runs the practice between lessons. It assesses your child every week, pinpoints exactly where they are strong or wobbling, and automatically builds the next practice set - so every minute is spent on what will move their score most. Many families use it alongside a tutor; plenty use it on its own.
