Common questions

Is this the same format as the real Kent Test?

Yes. The Kent Test is set by GL Assessment, and our papers follow the same multiple-choice format, five-option answer sheet, and timing. Paper 1 (English + Maths) and Paper 2 (VR + NVR) match the real exam structure. Our mock exams simulate the full exam day including breaks between papers.

My child is also sitting Bucks / Wilts / other GL regions — will this work?

Yes. GL Assessment papers are very consistent across regions (Kent, Buckinghamshire, Wiltshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Lancashire, Trafford, etc.). Same question style, same answer-sheet format. Our papers work for any GL-region grammar school.

When should we start preparing?

Most Kent parents start 6-9 months before the test (around January-March for September exams). Some start earlier, some later. Our platform works at any pace — you buy 18 months of access and work through at the rate that suits your child.

How does practice work — at the laptop or under timed conditions?

Both, depending on the day. Casual practice happens online with instant marking and detailed explanations on every question — great for after-school sessions. For mock-exam-style practice, the Mock Exam Pack runs all four subjects back-to-back under strict time limits, which is the closest thing to the real exam-day experience.

What if my child needs help with a specific subject?

Buy a single subject pack for £25. Same 10 papers that are in the bundle, just for one subject. Good way to start if English is the problem area and Maths is fine.

What happens after 18 months?

Access ends. If your child is still preparing (e.g. sibling in the same boat, or test delayed) you can renew at a discounted rate. We'll email you before access expires.

Can I get a refund?

Yes — if you've used less than half of your pack and you're not happy, email us within 7 days of purchase and we'll refund in full. No questions, no forms.
