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).
Spatial reasoning In part
Partly taught: hidden shapes, and folding and punching paper. The real section may set other types.
Not covered

Remelia does not teach quantitative reasoning.
A written paper: the school’s own English Writing Test (not practised as the school sets it; Remelia prints a writing paper to practise the writing, marked at home by a grown-up)

The page’s words
“After registration, your child will be invited to complete an assessment, which includes a CAT4 test, a creative writing piece, and an interview. ... The CAT4 cognitive ability test is administered on a computer and evaluates vocabulary, mathematics, perceptual speed, accuracy, and non-verbal reasoning. There are no practice papers available for these tests.”
“English Writing Test This 30-minute test assesses the child’s ability to write meaningfully and fluently in prose. ... The interview, lasting approximately 10 minutes ... The academic component (CAT4 and English test) constitutes 50% of the final decision, while the interview and reference collectively account for the remaining 50%.”
“Year 7 is the primary entry point for the Senior School, with a limited number of places available for Year 9 entry. We offer deferred places into Year 9 for pupils in Year 6 and Year 7.”
