Kent PESE 11+ Entrance Exams

The Basics

The Kent 11+ or Kent PESE (Procedure for Entry to Secondary Education) is a grammar entrance exam that covers all 32 selective schools in the Kent catchment.

The papers are GL (Granada Learning) standard. GL papers are based on a question bank of some 15,000 questions, many of which have a similar style of questioning. This is good news for parents and children, as with practice it is possible to familiarise with the kinds of questions that are asked. 

The exam format includes two papers, both of which are an hour long and are multiple choice. Paper 1 covers English and Maths, Paper 2 covers Reasoning.
