Remelia and this test
Remelia has no exam plan for this test yet, and teaches Key Stage 2 in school order. A school without a plan of its own may still have its test under “Can’t find a school?”. Tick it, then choose its school year and month; Remelia plans for that provider’s usual test at the sitting you choose. If it is not there, choose “General 11+ preparation” for the Key Stage 2 curriculum with no exam date.
