Kent 11+ pass mark

In Kent, the Kent Test uses a published qualifying standard (332).

Kent Test

Verified 2026-07-19
Fixed cutoff: 332 (aggregate, min. 108 per paper)

332 total (aggregate), with no single subject score below 108 — 2025 entry, the most recently published figure. The 2026 threshold has not yet been published by KCC (expected October 2026, alongside 2026 results).

Children sit three separately-scored tests — English, maths and reasoning — each converted into a standardised score (KCC states these range from 69 to 141), which are added together into one aggregate out of a possible 423. To be "assessed as suitable" for a Kent grammar school, a child's aggregate must reach the qualifying threshold, and no single subject score can fall below the minimum. Reaching the threshold does not guarantee a place: Kent grammar schools are usually oversubscribed, so they still rank every qualifying applicant using their own published admissions criteria (e.g. distance, siblings, faith) to decide who is actually offered a place.
