Accuracy of GL tests to real thing.

[SoppyBee]

I just wanted to ask people with experience of the Kent test how close to the real thing are the GL assessment test papers? My DS seems to be doing well but how is this an indication on how he is prepared for the real thing I am unsure.

Hi-
My two children took the Kent Test in 2014 and 2015- and I've captured the scores from their GL sample papers (English, Maths and Reasoning- NVR&VR) and the results that they each achieved in each of the papers within the 11+ itself.

I've PMed the info to you- I hope they are useful. Give me a shout if you have any further questions.

DD sat in 2015 her experience was the Kent test questions were easier but more pressured on time.
