What is "selective" for Kent

Both Bexley and Medway give a combined score from the tests (2 for Bexley, 3 for Medway) to assess selective or non-selective.
I always thought it was the same with Kent but two people have said that you have to get 120 in Maths, VR and NVR to pass - fail one = fail them all.
Can someone confirm which way it works.
TIA

The pass mark is usually 360 but you have to have a minimum in each paper. Last year this was 119 and the year before 117.

exact scores vary each year

Not sure what you mean yoyo?
From KCC website
To be automatically assessed suitable for grammar school in 2011's Kent 11+ process, a child needed to score a total of 360 or more in the tests, with no single score lower than 119.

As monstermum said a child must score a minimum combined total of 360 with no score lower than 119, therefore the lowest possible passmark would be 119,120,121...BUT it can (and often does) change from year to year so the pass mark could increase again this year.
