How Remelia helps with this test

Verbal and non-verbal reasoning, counted towards the exam. Not covered: the test’s own format.

What Remelia practises for every GL plan, part by part, is on one page; this plan leaves out the writing and science. What Remelia practises for GL maths, English and reasoning tests

Particular to this test

  • The last fortnight

The schools

Two schools, one test.

Each school takes its own applications and decides its own offers. Places are as each school’s page gives them, where it does.

The exam

What the schools say.

Each line links to the page it comes from. A line marked Inferred is read from the page, which does not say it in so many words; the note under it says how.

Two multiple-choice papers only.
What has changed Inferred
No change of provider announced on the admissions page read on 29 Sep 2026 (MM-868); the page does not give the provider history, so a change before 2023 cannot be ruled out from it. Source
