At Mathnasium our mission is to transform lives with Maths. Our proven Mathnasium Method, ensures that every child receives individualised attention and support. We continually give feedback to parents and students on where they are and what needs to be worked on. This builds the knowledge and skills to ensure students are prepared and ready to take on the Kent test with confidence.

What Is the Kent Test 

The Kent Test is an 11+ exam for entrance into Kent's grammar schools. It is taken in September just after they have started Year 6. It assesses a child’s ability in Maths, English and verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning. The 11+ exam is a competitive process and you need to pass all subjects to gain a Grammar school place and the most most academic schools requiring even higher marks.

How to prepare?

Many parents find Kent test preparation daunting, particularly when faced with:

  • Uncertainty about where to begin: Understanding the different exam formats and finding appropriate resources can be confusing.
  • Time constraints: Balancing practice with other commitments can leave families feeling stretched.
  • Knowledge gaps: Pinpointing and addressing weaknesses in reasoning or maths skills can be challenging without expert guidance.
  • Pressure on children: Preparing for a high-stakes exam can cause stress and affect confidence.

After surveying the market and drawing on our experience supporting children and families, we created a unique programme to fully support the progress of each child in a structured way, maximising their potential without adding pressure.
