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
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; 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).

The page’s words
“Admission Into Year 7 And Year 9 Your child will spend a few hours with us in October or November during which he/she will sit online assessments. We use Cognitive Ability Tests, along with a piece of creative writing as part of our assessment process for entry into Luckley. CAT4 give scores that are standardised to the age of each child. The tests give valuable insight into your child’s ability to reason across four distinct areas: verbal, non-verbal, mathematical and spatial”
“Although our school is selective, we do accept a relatively wide ability range. ... we would expect successful candidates to have reached the average standard expected of pupils in Year 6. ... We also consider a report from your child’s current Head and all candidates will have an interview with a member of the senior leadership team.”
“If your child is at a prep school which ends at Year 8, it is possible for him/her to sit our entrance exams in Year 6, for a ‘deferred place’ for Year 9 entry.”
