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; and the maths and English papers that need no exam.
