How Remelia helps with the 11+
What Remelia practises for every GL plan, part by part, is on one page; this plan leaves out science. GL 11+ and 13+: what Remelia practises for 92 exams
Particular to this test
Covered
A reasoning test
Remelia reads the maths this test names as quantitative reasoning, the number part of a reasoning test, which it does not teach. Curriculum maths and English are kept up to the national standard beside the reasoning.
The last fortnight
The plan works to November of Year 6; until the school publishes the day for your child’s year, that date is an estimate.
Practice papers
GL-style papers in maths, English, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning; a GL-style spatial reasoning paper; a writing paper; and the maths and English papers that need no exam.
In part
The timed mock In part
Not in this exam’s mock: Quantitative reasoning (Remelia does not teach it); The school’s own written paper (this mock has a writing task of Remelia’s own instead); Spatial reasoning question types other than hidden shapes, and folding and punching paper (the real section may set them).
Spatial reasoning In part
Partly taught: hidden shapes, and folding and punching paper. The real section may set other types.
Not covered
Quantitative reasoning
Remelia does not teach quantitative reasoning.
A written paper: the school’s written task (not practised as the school sets it; Remelia prints a writing paper to practise the writing, marked at home by a grown-up)
