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
No month is published, so the plan works to January of Year 6, when most GL Assessment tests are sat: 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.
In part
The timed mock In part

Spatial reasoning In part
Partly taught: hidden shapes, and folding and punching paper. The real section may set other types.

The page’s words
“Every child who applies to Hulme Hall is required to sit a Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4) which gives us a rounded profile highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. Children are tested in four fields – verbal, non-verbal, quantitative and spatial reasoning which allows us to gauge their potential and benchmark their current level.”
“Please note, this is not an entrance examination and there is no pass or fail.”
“We invite all children who have registered to spend a day at Hulme Hall taking part in different subject activities that are designed to be fun whilst giving us the opportunity to see how they interact with their peers. The formal assessment day for entry in September 2024 takes place in January”
