Is it right that the same Kent test that my child took yesterday and today is being taken by other children in Kent on Saturday ?
That really doesn't seem right or fair.

I know what you mean....there is the risk that the word will spread about the questions etc especially the topics for the written piece.x

Out of county children will take the same test. You are right it's not fair, ours have to sit it all in one day.

Thats why the practice session is offered, the week before, to familiarise the out of county children with the exam centre, surroundings, etc.

But I do worry that they will be at an advantage over our children if they get a whisper about what questions / topics to expect

Well I can't imagine anyone passing on info on the writing task, which is only used in appeal anyway.
And as for the other 3 topics, well they know what to expect anyway as they have all done practice papers, tutoring etc. I wouldn't worry about it.
