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, and verbal reasoning, 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

A written paper: English, reading and creative writing, 60 minutes and the test’s own format.

  • A written paper: English, reading and creative writing, 60 minutes

    Not practised.

  • 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.

How places are decided
Places offered in score order. The top 700 on age-standardised maths + VR are ‘deemed selective’ and have their English marked; the top 700 are re-standardised with English and places go in rank order under the oversubscription criteria (LAC top 900, EHCP, 20 music places, then rank). Only applicants living in the listed Inner Area postcodes are admitted. PAN 192. Source

Interview Inferred

Admission is by the tests and oversubscription criteria; no interview (music places are assessed separately).
What has changed
From the September 2027 test (2028 entry) Latymer moves from GL Assessment maths/VR plus its own English paper to Quest Assessments, in three sections: Mathematics, English Comprehension and English Writing (VR is dropped). Quest describes two paper booklets in one session: Paper One mathematics (multiple choice) and Paper Two English (multiple choice) with writing (fully written); timings not yet published.
