What is happening with kent test 2014?
Any idea anyone?
Kcc admissions said they had no news when a friend phoned them up recently. and they said that even when they did know they had no plans for when to make a public announcement as they were too busy with this September's test right now.
They say it will go on the kent business portal when it is awarded but, even if you were lucky enough to spot it on there, it does not seem to give the supplier name.
As I understand it they have to sign a new contract by 31 July or renew the old one by then. So maybe if we all phone on 31 July we'll get an answer?

You could also launch an online petition to find out more, similar to what they did to extend the freedom pass to over 16's...

I emailed the Kent Business Portal a couple of weeks ago about this. No-one's responded, so far ....
Seize the day ... before it seizes you.

Maybe try phoning gl assessment? If they have been awarded the contract presumably they would like to continue selling their practice papers to the cohorts for 2014 onwards?

Well I guess that's one way of stopping people tutor/practice papers...
sorry, slap my wrists. leaving thread now.

it had crossed my mind. but, if that is the idea behind the news blackout it is a little feeble. There are probably lots of people who don't know it might change, or are thinking it might not, who are carrying on regardless with the gl assessment practice papers.

For anyone interested who hasn't seen it the invitation to tender is on the Kent Business Portal, even if the actual contract award isn't yet.

Thanks okanagan. That is a very potted version of it.Okanagan wrote:For anyone interested who hasn't seen it the invitation to tender is on the Kent Business Portal, even if the actual contract award isn't yet.
You can also find the current 11+ contract on there and see that the test development is starting late this year by comparison.

Do you think we should just give up waiting and get out our GL Assessment Practice Papers as per usual?
