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.

Catchment area —  Plymouth High School for Girls does not have a catchment area however in the case of a tie, the location and distance of the child’s house to the school may be used to make the final decision, with the closest given priority. 

Oversubscription policy — Before the application of oversubscription criteria, eligible students with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which names the school will be admitted. As a result of this the published admissions number will be reduced accordingly.

 Where qualifying applications for admission exceed the number of places available, places will be determined as follows:

  1. Looked after and previously looked after children who achieve a score equal to or higher than the adjusted cut off score for this school, by rank order of the highest score in the 11-plus examination.

  2. Up to 12 places will be allocated to candidates who achieve a score equal to or higher than the adjusted cut off score for this school, by rank order of the highest score in the 11-plus examination and who qualify for the free school meals pupil premium or Ever 6 FSM2.

  3. Other candidates by rank order of the highest score in the 11-plus examination.

To resolve any tied positions within this list the following criteria will be used (strictly in this order):

  1. Pupils who qualify for the free school meals pupil premium or Ever 6 FSM3.

  2. Pupils whose home address is nearest the preferred school. Measurements are taken by a straight line on a map using the Council's electronic mapping system – the shorter the distance the higher the priority.

  3. In the event of there still being a tie, there will be a random ballot using an electronic random number generator.
