Welcome op. If you look at the St Olave's website there are sample papers available and the KCC website also has a test familiarisation booklet. It may be worth you looking at these as it may give you some idea of the areas your prep will need to cover.

Surely the sample papers tell you this?

If you go to the open day at St. Olaves they sell another set of preparation papers for Stage 1 and 2, different from the ones in the site.
Preparation wise, I think anything that you do for one should help with the other. Our experience was that St. Olaves was more difficult than the Kent one.

They've changed the sample papers since last year - I think to reflect more closely what the St O test was actually like last year! It caught a lot of boys on the hop.
