Does anyone know if the exam dates for the Bucks late transfer test and the ones for the other grammar schools (organising their own) coincide?
Basically, is it practically possible to sit both? Or more?
As far as I know, there is no coordination of dates among the GS who don't use Bucks CC for testing, and it's highly likely that your child would be able to sit tests for a number of schools on different days.

If passed, will the sibling rule weigh anything?
That depends on the admissions policy of each individual school, and they all vary considerably as to how much priority is given to siblings.
Beyond that, you need to be very realistic about the chances of a place being available if s/he qualifies. All the schools were fully subscribed this year, and a number of them went over PAN (their admission number) after appeals were heard.
If you let us know which schools you are interested in, we may be able to offer more specific advice.
