Each paper includes one online sitting, printable question and worked-answer PDFs, and 90 days of access from payment. Each timer starts separately. The same questions appear in the PDF and online versions; printing does not add an extra unseen paper.

One learner licence. £15 is the same total as three £5 singles, not a discount. Check your saved papers before buying: a bundle contains the same Papers 1–3 sold individually.

Choose how to practise

Print the A4 question booklet for a quiet session at the table, then mark it with the separate answer booklet. Or sit online for autosaving, a topic breakdown and worked explanations. Offline answers are not uploaded; no online score or benchmark is created by printing.

Downloading either booklet before completing the online sitting removes that sitting from the first-sitting cohort comparison. Keep answer booklets with the supervising adult.

Know the format

Our 50-question subject papers are extended component practice, with longer practice timers: 45 minutes for English and Maths, and 35 for verbal reasoning. These are not official component lengths or combined-paper simulations. Non-verbal reasoning, spatial reasoning and the writing exercise are excluded; no overall Kent Test score is calculated.

EXTENDED KENT-RELATED SUBJECT PRACTICE. This original Exam Quay English paper has 50 MCQs in 45 minutes INCLUDING reading, with our own advisory section allocation and timer. The official scored Kent English component lasts 25 minutes with a separate 5-minute practice period. This longer paper is skills practice, not an official component-length simulation or a reproduction of the full Kent Test. NVR, spatial reasoning and the separate writing task are not included; MCQ language choices do not assess composing a piece of writing. Choose exactly ONE answer unless a question explicitly asks for TWO. Some editing items legitimately have no error. Each complete correct set earns one mark, otherwise zero, with no partial credit or negative marking: this is Exam Quay’s marking rule.

Plan three sessions

Start with Paper 1, review a few mistakes together, then leave time to revisit those skills before Paper 2. Use Paper 3 for another practice session when ready. These numbers indicate different questions, not calibrated difficulty.
