Practice papers for West Kent 11plus

Post by Guestg »

Would be grateful if anyone could clarify the papers my daughter needs for 11plus in West kent area i.e., Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells. I think I need NFER MULTIPLE CHOICE, does this apply to all of the papers or just VR or NVR, any suggestions most welcome. She will sit paper next year, but would like to get hold of practice papers now.

Many thanks
Peter

There is now a single 11 plus exam across Kent (except for additional papers taken for the Dover grammar schools). Medway is different.

It comprises NFER: VR, NVR, and maths, together with an English assessment used only for Headteacher appeals.

I'm in West Kent and was informed that the english assessment is used not only in appeal but as a tie-breaker for those with scores around the cutt-of point. Otherwise it's left unread.

Sorry Kentmum1, but my previous answer is correct. There is no such thing as a tie breaker in the Kent process.

The writing task is solely used if there is a headteacher appeal. Otherwise, as you say, it is unread.

you wil find this confirmed on page 14 of the Kent prospectus.

Sorry, you mention on Page 14 of the Kent prospectus. Which prospectus is this and where do I get a copy? I only have the KCC admissions booklet to secondary schools for 2007 and there is nothing on page 14 regarding this.

Sorry but I'm totally correct - for TW Boys Grammar that is! Not only did their deputy head inform us, on the open evening (that I went to two years running), that the essay is used as a tie breaker on borderline scores but so did the Headteacher at our primary at our secondary schools transfer meeting. Can't both be wrong!

If youi look at the 11+ regions section on this website, under Kent, it explains the papers in detail. It also explains that the essay can be the difference between a pass and a fail - ie borderline cases, and I know that this decision is made before schools get results. Of course, it can be used as appeal material too but I have definitely been told, regardless of what it says on paper in the Kent Prospectus, that it is the "decider" on a borderline paper. Makes sense doesn't it, after all quite a lot of effort still goes into it.
