How Remelia helps with the 11+

What Remelia practises for every ISEB Pre-Test plan, part by part, is on one page. Remelia for ISEB Pre-Test maths, English and reasoning tests

Particular to this test

  • Maths

    The Key Stage 2 objectives for Years 3 to 5, 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 5, counted towards the exam.

  • The last fortnight

    The plan works to October of Year 6; until the school publishes the day for your child’s year, that date is an estimate.

13+ For Year 9

The 13+ entrance test

Berkhamsted School’s 13+ entrance test is taken online; who sets it is not named on the pages read. It tests English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning.

Who sits it. Children in Year 7, for a place in Year 9 in September 2028: sat on Friday 13 November 2026.
