Kent Test results: pass marks and school places
In 2025 a child needed 332 in total with no subject below 108. KCC publishes the 2026 rule in October. Passing makes a child eligible; each school then decides its own offers.
Read the whole result
KCC reports English, maths and reasoning scores plus a total, each age-standardised. Results arrive by email on 15 October if you gave one at registration, otherwise by post.
A total alone is not enough
Worked example Check both conditions
Under the 2025 rule, do scores of 107, 122 and 120 pass?
Answer: The total is 349, above 332, but 107 is below 108. No.
The trap: A high total does not cancel a subject minimum.
Can a child pass but miss a place?
Yes. Each school allocates by its own rules, often distance. Check the policy for your school and entry year.
Using practice marks
- Record the cause of each error: reading, method, calculation or answer sheet.
- Try a fresh question on the same skill.
