It's a game that some people seem to be more anxious about the Kent secondary school admissions system this yyear when in reality it has improved vastly over the years.
All schools are now equal preference, you have the 11+ results before you fill the CAF in, and there are more spaces on the CAF. Altogether a much easier decision making process for parents than even three years ago.
That does not mean that one's chances of getting 1st choice have necessarily changed (apart from for those people who in the past may have put a grammar first place and then their child failed) - but why should they - but it is much easier to decide which schools to put on the form, and in which order.
