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