Remelia and this test
Remelia has no exam plan for this test yet, and teaches Key Stage 2 in school order. GL Assessment sets it. The box for GL Assessment’s test under “Can’t find a school?” offers Year 6, so it does not fit this test’s recorded sitting. With “General 11+ preparation”, Remelia teaches the Key Stage 2 curriculum with no exam date.
