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 and the writing. 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; 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); Spatial reasoning question types other than hidden shapes, and folding and punching paper (the real section may set them).
Spatial reasoning In part
Partly taught: hidden shapes, and folding and punching paper. The real section may set other types.
Not covered
Quantitative reasoning
Remelia does not teach quantitative reasoning.
13+ For Year 9
The 13+ entrance test

Who sits it. Children in Year 8, for a place in Year 9 in September 2027: date not yet published.

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.
