What Remelia covers
Maths all 68 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 64 of the 68 plans
Grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary questions most days, Years 3 to 6, counted towards the exam.
Reading 64 of the 68 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 58 of the 68 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 Quest Assessments’ own may differ from GL’s.
Non-verbal reasoning 58 of the 68 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 68 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 30 of the 68 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.
Science 1 of the 68 plans
The Key Stage 2 science programme of study for Years 3 to 6, asked as reasoning over what the question gives: fair tests, tables and graphs, circuits, keys and food chains, and 104 short scenarios to read and answer from, mixed into the sessions and counted towards the exam. Year 6 science is in the plan too: all 15 of its objectives have notes, and one so far has questions; the rest are named as not covered yet.
