Kent Test: format and practice

• The Kent Test covers English, maths and reasoning, in separately timed sections.
• A writing exercise is available for headteacher assessment.

Tests, stages and dates are set by the school or council and change every year. This page is a summary, not the official rules.

Practice follows the three areas: English, maths and reasoning. Extension sets give harder optional practice and are not an official stage.

• English: 6 topics
• Maths: 8 topics
• Reasoning: 3 topics
• Extension: English: 1 topic
• Extension: Maths: 8 topics
• Extension: Reasoning: 3 topics

Practice questions are original and are not real papers. Practice scores are not admissions scores, and eligibility and places are decided by the school or authority.
