Kent Test 11+ ... how long?

[PurpleNinjaShoes]

In a nutshell, could someone please advise how long the 11+ Kent Test is?

The familiarisation booklet states an hour for English and Maths (combined), including 5 minutes of practice questions. It then also says the same for the reasoning portion. So, it suggest that the whole thing is 2 hours. (Followed by the 40 min writing)

However, I have an ex-teacher-turned-tutor who insists that it is 4 lots of 50 minutes (I.e., 50 minutes for each subject). (Followed by an hour of writing)

Could someone whose child has sat this in recent years please be able to clarify??!

Thanks!

There are more than 1. Depends on the school, the system, the set up, etc

The Kent Test issued by KCC

Possibly, you should get them to have a read of all the information about the process and the test itself on the Kent CC website...

Then, ditch the tutor if they haven't actually got current knowledge of the format of the test and cannot be bothered to keep themselves up to date?

According to this thread on the elevenplusexams forum, the new format was introduced in 2014?
