Hi all. Just had a pm telling me the new kent test for this year will be the same as the west midlands teat. Anyone else heard this and what information is there on this ?
Thanks.

I thought West Midlands was CEM? (though may have remembered wrongly) and the Kent Test is being provided by GL again, but in a different format.

Please can you be a bit clearer Essex2Kent - that was really gobbledygook. Kent test in 2014 is definitely GL Assessment. I don't think they have tendered yet for 2015. So what is this PMer talking about?

Do they mean the 2 papers containing NVR, VR and numeracy, chopping and changing every ten or so minutes, with no going back to a section once the time has run out for that section? At least everyone in Kent will be in the same boat with not knowing the format.

Think you are giving us red herrings E2E. If GL copied CEM there would be a huge court case!

Emm I'm not. I am asking because of some PM I I got and actually formats aren't copyrighted just actual questions.
