Sam’s answer516
Not this time. It looks as if you added the denominators (bottom numbers) too. When the denominators are the same, add only the numerators (top numbers). The denominator stays the same.

Getting started
Start practising at home in your web browser. No account needed.
Open the app on the device your child will use
Use a web browser on a laptop, Chromebook, tablet or phone. There’s nothing to install.
Set up your child’s profile
Follow seven short steps, including your child’s first name, year group and pronouns. You can also add their school if you wish.
Choose the schools
Tick the schools your child might apply to. You can choose as many as you like, or select “General 11+ preparation”. No schools are selected for you, and you can change your choices later.
Start with a maths skills check
Your child answers around 24 maths questions to see what they already know and where they need practice. Their plan starts from there. The English skills check follows the next day.
Create a parent account (optional)
Create an account in Remelia Parents to link devices, read your child’s weekly letter and change settings from your own phone.
What it teaches
Maths and English, 11 plus reasoning and Year 6 SATs practice
Remelia breaks the Key Stage 2 curriculum into topics, each focused on one skill, such as adding fractions with the same denominator. These skills are also known as learning objectives.
Children practise a little each day. By default, the plan follows what they are learning at school. Once they are confident with a topic, they can move on to the next one early. In the final months before a chosen entrance exam, practice focuses on what that exam covers.
Choosing a school may also add verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning or science. Your child only practises these subjects if they are included in that school’s entrance exam.
Remelia creates questions using code written for each topic. The code uses rules, word lists, reading passages and other texts stored in the app. Separate checks solve samples of these questions without access to the answers, then compare the results. How the questions are made
Maths
Included by default. Your child continues practising maths even if their chosen entrance exams do not include it.
228 topics
Covering Key Stage 2 maths for Years 3–6, with practice questions for each topic, plus problem-solving strategies and puzzles that stretch children further. For schools using one of the five maths schemes Remelia supports, topics follow that scheme’s teaching order. Otherwise, they follow the order most English primary schools teach.
- Number, calculation, fractions and decimals
- Measurement, geometry and statistics
- Ratio and algebra in Year 6
The 228 topics include a Year 7 head start of 29 early secondary maths topics. This becomes available after the Year 6 SATs, or straight after the last entrance exam for children applying only to independent schools. A parent can make it available earlier.
English
English practice is included by default, even if your child’s chosen entrance exams do not test English.
90 topics
Grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary are practised most days. From Year 5, a weekly reading day is added if your chosen exam plan includes English. Short timed writing tasks are also included if the exam tests writing.
- Spelling rules and the statutory word lists
- Weekly reading practice using an unseen passage and 9 questions
- Timed writing tasks that a grown-up marks using a tick-based checklist
130 reading passages: 67 non-fiction texts, 46 fiction texts and 17 poems.
Verbal reasoning
Included only if your chosen school’s entrance exam tests verbal reasoning. Practice starts in the autumn term of Year 5.
23 question types
These cover the 21 types in GL Assessment’s familiarisation papers, plus two additional types tested by Quest Assessments. Plans for the ISEB Common Pre-Test exclude three types: number series, letters for numbers and complete the sum.
- Number series and sums, letter series and analogies
- Codes and logic puzzles
- Word puzzles and word meanings
Verbal reasoning is tested at 282 of the 329 schools covered by Remelia’s exam plans.
Non-verbal reasoning
Included only if your chosen school’s entrance exam tests non-verbal reasoning. Practice starts in the autumn term of Year 5.
13 question types
Based on the exam boards’ own sample materials. Each question uses diagrams and offers five answer choices.
- Patterns and sequences, comparing shapes
- Rotating and reflecting shapes, spotting hidden shapes
- Paper folding and nets of 3D shapes
Non-verbal reasoning is tested at 272 of the 329 schools covered by Remelia’s exam plans.
Science is practised too, only where a chosen school’s exam sets it. An exam sets it at 8 of the 329 schools with an exam plan.
- Year 6 SATs practice: printable papers in the style of the national tests, covering arithmetic, mathematical reasoning, grammar and punctuation, spelling and reading. A grown-up can run a timed mock using all six papers, mark the answers and see an estimated scaled score as a rough guide. What Remelia practises for SATs
- Times tables check practice: a weekly practice check from March of Year 4, the same length and pace as the real check: 25 questions, with six seconds to answer each one.
A session
Up to 15 minutes of practice, four days a week
Each session revisits topics your child has practised before, then introduces something new when they are ready.
Sessions mix subjects by default. You can choose maths-only or English-only practice, or let your child pick one subject each session.
Sessions last up to 12 minutes by default. They can be a little longer where a chosen exam sets four subjects or more, and up to 15 minutes in the months before a chosen exam. With the scholarship switch on, a session can be up to three minutes longer, for a second puzzle. You can adjust the length from 8 to 20 minutes. Shorter mixed sessions may not cover every subject. Maths comes first, so an 8-minute mixed session usually leaves no time for English or reasoning questions.
A new topic starts with an example
Your child works through three steps: study a solved example, finish a question that has been started, then solve one on their own.
Topics are revisited regularly
When your child answers correctly, the topic returns after a longer gap each time. If they make a mistake, it comes back sooner for more practice.
Understanding what went wrong
When a wrong answer suggests a common misunderstanding, Remelia explains the mistake and how to avoid it next time.
Shorter sessions before the exam
In the final 14 days before your child’s chosen exam, sessions are shorter and no new topics are introduced. Your child practises only topics they have already started.
Use the devices you already have
Remelia runs in a web browser on a laptop, Chromebook, tablet or phone. There is nothing to install.
Your child can practise on more than one device. Until you link the devices to your parent account, each keeps a separate record. Once linked, they share your child’s progress, so your child can practise on the family laptop one day and pick up where they left off on a tablet the next.
For parents
A weekly letter on what your child has practised and remembered
Available in Remelia Parents on your phone and in “For grown-ups” on your child’s device:
- A weekly letter: what your child has practised, what they can still answer correctly after a 20-day gap, and what needs more practice.
- Progress across the curriculum: see how much your child has learnt. For entrance exams, an estimated range shows how much of the exam content they are likely to know securely by exam day, with the assumptions explained. This is never a prediction of passing.
- A school page: see this half-term’s topics and draft an email to your child’s teacher to check that they match what is being taught.
- Settings: adjust the pace, session length, breaks, subjects and target schools.
- Printable practice papers: maths and English papers for the subjects your child studies, plus papers in the style of their chosen entrance exams where available.
- One account for the family: manage several children and link the devices they use.
The timed mock
Timed 11 plus mock exams to practise at home
Remelia offers a timed mock for each of the 249 exams covered by its plans. A grown-up starts the mock, and your child works through the sections in order, with a set time for each. For paper-based mocks, your child uses printed papers while you manage the timing and instructions on your screen. For online mocks, your child answers on their own device. Some mocks cover only part of the entrance exam. This section explains what is included and what is left out.
On paper
A mock on paper is made in Remelia Parents or in For grown-ups, printed by a grown-up and run from their screen. That screen shows the clock for each part and the instructions to read out. It reads them aloud in the device’s voice where it has one, and keeps a short rest between parts. Your child sees only the paper, never the clock. Any writing task is on paper too.
On screen
A mock on screen is started in For grown-ups, on the child’s own device, by a grown-up. The child’s screen calls it a practice test. Each part comes in turn, with the time left shown in the corner, which the child can hide.
Afterwards
Marked at home. For a mock on paper a grown-up taps what is on each line of the answer sheet. The app marks it by the exam’s own rule for the sheet. A mock on screen the app marks itself. A writing task is not marked there: a grown-up ticks it on the writing paper’s own page, so it is not in those marks. The marks show on Progress, part by part, with the minutes used. The result says that a mock made here is not the real paper. It is practice, never a rank.
The usual parts and minutes of each exam board
Every count here is of the mock its guide gives for entry from 2028. Each exam is counted once, under the provider the cards below count it under.
A part runs to the school’s own minutes, the test’s own minutes or the minutes of GL’s own practice paper, where they are published. A spatial reasoning part runs to 5 minutes a section, from the Kent Test’s booklet (the number of sections is ours). Where one paper holds several parts, each runs to an equal share of the test’s own paper’s minutes. Where a paper’s minutes cover spatial reasoning too, a part runs to a share of the test’s own paper’s minutes, less the spatial part’s. Otherwise a part runs to the provider’s usual minutes, or to the app’s default minutes for the school’s own written task, beside the Pre-Test. A mock has a part only for a subject its exam sets. These are the usual parts, in the order the mock runs them.
- Quest Assessments. On paper: English (40 minutes), maths (40) and non-verbal reasoning (40). Then writing (20 minutes) where the exam has a written task. Not in this mock: Verbal reasoning on paper (only the GL-style verbal reasoning paper is built). On screen: English (30 minutes), maths (20), non-verbal reasoning (10) and verbal reasoning (10). Then writing (30 minutes) where the exam has a written task. Timed at the provider’s usual minutes. A mock of the whole exam for 15 of its 90 exams. For 13 more the mock is in the provider’s usual shape and is not known to be the whole exam.
- GL Assessment. English (50 minutes), maths (50), verbal reasoning (50) and non-verbal reasoning (40). Then writing (30 minutes) where the exam has a written task. Timed, part by part, at the provider’s usual minutes and the minutes of GL’s own practice paper. A mock of the whole exam for 19 of its 89 exams. For 2 more the mock is in the provider’s usual shape and is not known to be the whole exam.
- ISEB Common Pre-Test. Maths (40 minutes), English (40), non-verbal reasoning (30) and verbal reasoning (25). Then writing (30 minutes) where the exam has a written task. Timed, part by part, at the test’s own minutes and the app’s default minutes for the school’s own written task, beside the Pre-Test. A mock of the whole exam for 28 of its 61 exams.
- Future Stories (FSCE). Adventure: maths (30 minutes), Adventure: English (30), Beacon: maths (20) and Beacon: English (20). Then Discovery: writing (20 minutes) where the exam has a written task. Timed at the provider’s usual minutes. A mock of the whole exam for 1 of its 9 exams.
What a mock can leave out
For 63 of the 249 exams the mock is of the whole exam, each of its papers or sections. For 15 more the exam’s own papers were not found on the pages read. The mock has the provider’s usual section for each subject the test is known to set, and is not known to be the whole exam. For the other 171 it is in part, and the exam’s guide says how. An interview is never part of a mock.
The parts left out most often, with the number of the 249 exams whose mock leaves each out:
- The school’s own written paper (the mock has a writing task of Remelia’s own instead): 76 exams
- Spatial reasoning question types other than hidden shapes, and folding and punching paper (the real section may set them): 57 exams, all by GL Assessment
- Quantitative reasoning (Remelia does not teach it): 50 exams, all by GL Assessment
- Puzzles and Problem Solving: 30 exams, all by Quest Assessments
- Creative Comprehension: 25 exams, all by Quest Assessments
- Verbal reasoning on paper (only the GL-style verbal reasoning paper is built): 8 exams, all by Quest Assessments
Schools and exams
Any school, and an exam plan for 329 schools across four exam boards.
Remelia teaches Key Stage 2 maths and English in your child’s school order, whichever school they are aiming for. For 329 schools it also plans to the school’s own exam: its date, its scope and a lighter last fortnight. Where an exam tests something Remelia does not fully teach, such as spatial reasoning, its guide says so. Ten of the 249 exam plans leave out English or maths, and another 52 set reasoning only and leave out both. With only such exams open, what is missing is kept up to the national standard for Years 3 to 6, with core topics and practice papers. It is not counted towards those exams or included as a section of their mocks.
Any school
Preparing for a different school?
Remelia still teaches the Key Stage 2 maths and English curriculum, in school order, with spaced reviews: grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary most days, beside the maths. A plan to a school’s own exam, with its date and scope, is for the schools listed on Schools and exams. Another school may still get a plan, to its test provider’s usual test: a school that is not listed.

Each exam is counted once, under the provider whose test Remelia plans it as for a child in Year 3 this school year. So the four counts add up to the 249 exams. Four of those exams were another provider’s up to 2027 entry. A card counts each under the new provider from 2028 entry, and the exam board page of the provider before still lists it.
The exam board pages list 147 of these 249 exams. Schools and exams lists all 249, A to Z.
Each exam plan is dated from your child’s year group: Remelia works to the sitting for the September they start Year 7. A school without a plan of its own may still have its test under “Can’t find a school?”. Tick it, then choose its school year and month; Remelia plans for that provider’s usual test at the sitting you choose. If it is not there, choose “General 11+ preparation” for the Key Stage 2 curriculum with no exam date.
No school is chosen for your child: when you set them up you tick the schools they might apply for, as many as you like, or choose “General 11+ preparation”. Until you choose, they learn the Key Stage 2 curriculum with no exam date; the schools can be changed at any time in Settings.
Remelia is not affiliated with any school, consortium or exam board.
What it will not do
Privacy and safety: no adverts, no leaderboards, no pass predictions.
Kept where your child practises
The app asks our server for each session’s questions, by topic, level and year group. It asks about schools too, with the words a grown-up types and the school chosen. It sends an anonymous device number with each request: never a name, never the child’s answers. Nothing else about the child leaves the device unless a grown-up links it to an account. Then only the child’s answers, the grown-ups’ settings and the device’s name go, and only to that account. So does the plan of a travel pack, if one is asked for. So does the list of questions the child got wrong, if a grown-up turns that on.
No adverts, no trackers
No adverts in the app, and no marketing trackers in it or on this site.
No leaderboards
No comparisons with other children, and no percentages shown to your child.
Estimates, labelled
Progress towards an exam is a range with its assumptions next to it, never a prediction of a result.
