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. Under “Can’t find a school?” you can tick the box for GL Assessment’s test and choose November. Remelia plans for maths, English, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning, with its lighter last fortnight and its end following your choice. Only sittings still available for your child’s year are offered. The plan does not hold this test’s own date, parts or papers.

Remelia and this test
Remelia has no exam plan for this test yet, and teaches Key Stage 2 in school order. The pages read point to GL Assessment as its setter (inferred). 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.
