What Remelia covers
Maths all 57 plans
The Key Stage 2 objectives for Years 3 to 6, in the order your child’s school teaches them, counted towards the exam.
English all 57 plans
Grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary questions most days, Years 3 to 6, counted towards the exam.
Reading all 57 plans
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 all 57 plans
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, and the ISEB Common Pre-Test’s own may differ from GL’s.
Non-verbal reasoning all 57 plans
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 all 57 plans
In the last 14 days before the exam date the plan works to, sessions are shorter and nothing new is introduced.
The writing In part 24 of the 57 plans
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.
