Kent Schools Information On The 11plus Tests
“Hi Andy, I just wanted to say how useful we found your materials. We set up our own incentive scheme eg a pack of Pokemon cards T. got over 70% in the BOFA test the first time and two packs if he got over 85% on the re-test! We returned in March from living overseas in the Cayman Islands for the last three years and T… had to sit the Kent Test and a specific test for Dover Boys Grammar School, in April/May with no real time to prepare like the other children who had taken these tests the previous September. I am pleased to say that he soared through the Dover Boys test with well over the minimum required and we are sending him there in September. I have already recommended your site to a friend and would have no hesitation in making other recommendations.
Best wishes and thanks again, Madeleine C. June 2010"
Choosing a school for your child is an important decision and the 11 plus exam (11+) will play a part in your choice of school. Grammar schools in the Kent Council area cater for children who are deemed selective under the 11+ exams.
Kent council provide an excellent booklet of advice for the parents of children who are about to sit their elevenplusexam. The booklet contains a wealth of information about selective and non-selective schools in their council area.
Children will take the following eleven plus tests:
- Verbal reasoning test
- Non-Verbal reasoning test
- Mathematics test
- English writing exercise
The tests are marked, the scores standardised and results issued.
Schools are asked not to coach children for the assessment process.
You can use BOFA 11+ to help prepare for the exam:
