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 the end of Year 5, counted towards the exam; the writing, in part.

  • Maths

    The Key Stage 2 objectives for Years 3 to 5, 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 5, 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.

  • The writing In part

    Short timed pieces that a grown-up marks at home with ticks: one a fortnight from the spring of Year 4, one a week from the autumn of Year 5. They practise part of what the exam’s writing asks; they are not its paper, and they are not counted towards the exam.

  • The last fortnight

    In the last 14 days before the exam date the plan works to, sessions are shorter and nothing new is introduced. The plan works to September of Year 6; until the school publishes the day for your child’s year, that date is an estimate.

Not covered

The test’s own format.

  • The test itself

    Remelia practises the content, not Future Stories Community Enterprise’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 Future Stories Community Enterprise’s own.
