Any Kendrick hopefuls taking other OOC tests?

Its probably a bit late now for Dd but I was talking to another parent who'd mentioned last year their Dd had been along to real tests at other schools out of county for practise.
Is this common practice amongst those in the know or is not worth it, considering Kendrick is standard format and most other schools opt for multiple-choice?

The tests were later last year which might have given more time for this sort of activity. I don't know of anyone doing this (not that we talk about fight club ) but the use of standard format rather than MC would seriously limit the choices of alternatives I would have thought.
