How Remelia helps with the 11+

What Remelia practises for every GL plan, part by part, is on one page; this plan leaves out verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, the writing and science. What Remelia practises for GL maths, English and reasoning tests

Particular to this test

  • Maths

    The Key Stage 2 objectives for Years 3 to 5, in the order your child’s school teaches them, counted towards the exam.

  • English

    Grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary questions most days, Years 3 to 5, counted towards the exam.

  • The last fortnight

    The plan works to September of Year 6; until the school publishes the day for your child’s year, that date is an estimate.
