Checked against the sources below on 22 September 2026. Dates and arrangements change: the school’s own admissions page is always the final word.

How Remelia helps with this test

What Remelia covers, in full

Covered

  • Maths
  • English
  • Reading
  • The last fortnight

Not covered

  • Verbal reasoning
  • Non-verbal reasoning
  • Puzzles and problem solving
  • The interview
  • The test itself
  • Printable English papers

Each exam plan is dated from your child’s year group: Remelia works to the sitting for the September they start Year 7. For a school without a plan, choose “Not sure yet” and Remelia teaches the Key Stage 2 curriculum with no exam date.

Key dates

When it is sat.

The dates the school has published, in order. Where a day is not yet published, the guide says so.

  1. Not yet published

    For Year 9 in September 2027, sat in Year 6. The date is not on the pages read. Source Source
    For September 2027 entry the Year 6 assessment would have been in 2024; not shown.

  2. Wednesday 7 October 2026 Inferred

    For Year 9 in September 2028, sat in Year 7. Inferred: the page does not give this date in so many words. Source Source
    Year 7 candidates attend on 7 or 9 October (year not printed; taken as 2026 for the current cycle).

  3. Thursday 26 November 2026

    For Year 9 in September 2029, sat in Year 6. Source Source
    The page says “For 2027 entry, the Year 6 Assessment Day will take place on Thursday 26 November 2026”; a Year 6 child in November 2026 enters Year 9 in 2029, so the “2027” label looks like an error.

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, 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.

  • 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 November of Year 6; until the school publishes the day for your child’s year, that date is an estimate.

Not covered

Verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, puzzles and problem solving, the interview and the test’s own format.

  • Verbal reasoning

    Remelia does not teach verbal reasoning.

  • Non-verbal reasoning

    Remelia does not teach non-verbal reasoning.

  • Puzzles and problem solving

    Not practised.

  • The interview

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

  • The test itself

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

  • Printable English papers

    The printable practice papers in the parents’ app are maths only.
