Kent and Slough consortium tests on the same date.
Is it possible to request for a change of date?
Wanted our DD to appear for super selectives and then relocate accordingly.
Any advice?

I don't know - but, if in the end you have to choose, I would choose the entry test for the area with a school where the cut off for an out of area child is not that difficult to achieve.
As they are funded by public money personally I think there should be an option to try both.

Can't say for Kent, but I strongly suspect you will not get an alternative date for Slough. It will be one of over dozen schools all using the same exam on the same date.

Sorry can't seem to copy the link but try googling Kent Secondary Admission 2016 and the admissions criteria booklet comes up. It mentions not being able to take the test due to ill health but not due to clash in dates. Maybe worth calling them.

Happened to us last year - we called in sick for Kent and did the slough exams (I seem to remember you need a photo for slough????)

Wouldn't you have needed a doctors note for that?
