Remelia and this exam

What Remelia covers, and what it does not.

Choose the school when you set your child up, or later in Controls, and this is the plan.

What Remelia covers

Key Stage 2 maths and English to Year 6, and verbal and non-verbal reasoning, counted towards the exam.

  • Maths

    The Key Stage 2 objectives for Years 3 to 6, in the order your child’s school teaches them, counted towards the exam.

  • English

    Grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary questions most days, Years 3 to 6, counted towards the exam.

  • Reading

    From the autumn of Year 5, a weekly reading day: one unseen passage and 9 questions on it, from a bank of 130 passages.

  • Verbal reasoning

    21 of the question types in GL Assessment’s verbal reasoning familiarisation papers (letter and number series, codes, logic puzzles, word puzzles and word meanings), mixed into the sessions and counted towards the exam. The types a test sets can differ from year to year.

  • Non-verbal reasoning

    13 question types from the providers’ own sample material (shape series and grids, pairs, similarities, odd one out, codes, rotation, reflection, hidden shapes, folding and punching, and nets), each a drawing with five options, mixed into the sessions and counted towards the exam. The types a test sets can differ from year to year, and from provider to provider.

  • The last fortnight

    In the last 14 days before the exam date the plan works to, sessions are shorter and nothing new is introduced. No month is published, so the plan works to January of Year 6, when most GL Assessment tests are sat: an estimate.

Not covered

The interview and the test’s own format.

  • The interview

    A conversation with the school, which an app cannot practise.

  • The test itself

    Remelia practises the content, not GL Assessment’s own screens, papers or timings: the familiarisation materials, where there are any, show those.

  • English papers in this test’s style

    The printable English practice papers in the parents’ app are in the style of the FSCE test’s multiple-choice paper, not GL Assessment’s own.
