Exam types:

  • Maths

  • Non-Verbal Reasoning

  • English Comprehension

  • Verbal Reasoning

  • Problem Solving

  • Analysis

Exam length — 140 minutes (with a 30-minute break). This will be broken down into:

  • 20 minutes of maths.

  • 10 minutes of non-verbal reasoning.

  • 30 minutes of English comprehension and verbal reasoning.

  • 30-minute break.

  • 15 minutes of problem-solving.

  • 25 minutes for the final analysis component.

Interviews — Children who perform well in the entrance tests are called back for interview; reports from current schools are also taken into account.

Other exam and entry information: 

  • The 11+ tests take place in the December of Year 6. Students will sit the tests in their current school.

  • The exam is fully online. An onscreen timer will count down how many minutes remain in each section.

  • Questions will be based on the National Curriculum for Year 5, but with opportunities for additional challenge built into the assessment.

  • New questions to assess problem-solving and analysis skills have been added for 2022.

    • The problem-solving section will test a child’s ability to use words and numbers to solve problems with multiple steps.

The context of this section is likely to be unfamiliar to all candidates but in the event of a candidate being familiar with the context, they will not have any advantage.

  • The first three sections of the exam before the break will be adaptive, meaning questions change and are tailored to the student's performance in previous questions. The last two sections of the exam are non-adaptive, and all students will receive the same questions.

Exam Information

Exam style — GL Assessment/The Kent Test

Exam topic:

  • Reasoning

    • Verbal, non-verbal and spatial

  • English and maths

  • Creative writing

Exam length — 2 x 1 hour exams + a 40-minute writing exercise.

Pass rate — In recent years, 15,000+ applicants took the Kent test; only 6,500 passed.

Other exam information:

  • The reasoning, English and maths tests are multiple-choice with a separate answer sheet.

  • The first test will be an English and Maths paper. Each section will include a 5 minute practice exercise followed by a 25 minute test. The English section will involve a comprehension exercise as well as some additional questions drawn from a set designed to test literacy skills.

  • The second test will be the reasoning paper. It will take about 1 hour, including the practice sections and questions. It will contain a verbal reasoning section and a non-verbal reasoning section of roughly the same length. The non-verbal reasoning will be split into short sections, administered and timed individually.

  • Finally, there will also be a writing exercise which will not be marked but may be used by a local headteacher panel as part of the headteacher assessment stage of the process. 40 minutes will be allowed for the writing task, including 10 minutes planning time.

Scores:

  • Your child will get three standardised scores (one for English, one for maths and one for reasoning) and a total (aggregate) score.

  • Standardisation is a statistical process which compares your child's performance with the average performance of other children in each test. A slight adjustment is made to take account of each child's age so that the youngest are not at a disadvantage.

Pass mark:

To qualify, children needed a total score of 332 or more, with no single score lower than 108. Test scores range from 69 to 141. The highest possible total score is 423.

If your child did not reach this threshold score and their primary school referred their case to the local Head Teacher Assessment Panel, the panel will have looked at their achievement in school and examples of their work, including the writing task completed on the day, before a final decision was made.

Please note that a score of over 332 does NOT mean your child is guaranteed a place at your chosen school.
