GL assessment: Granada Learning assessment, which is a company that provides educational assessments, most notably for the UK’s 11+ grammar school entrance exams. These assessments are used to evaluate a student’s abilities in areas like verbal and non-verbal reasoning, English, and mathematics to help identify their potential and areas for improvement.

CEM Assessments : Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring, an organization that provides assessments for schools, most famously the 11+ exam for grammar school admissions. These assessments, often known as CEM assessments, are designed to evaluate a student’s potential rather than their current achievement by using adaptive tests. In recent years, CEM has shifted to online exams and a different provider, GL Assessment, is now more common for standard 11+ tests.

How are online self-learning lessons provided?

Students receive secure access to our custom-built Learning Management System (LMS) featuring comprehensive courses in English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

Our Structured Learning Approach:

Mastery-Based Progression

Each subject covers all essential 11+ topics with detailed explanations. Following each lesson, students complete multiple-choice quizzes for that specific topic. We require students to achieve 100% accuracy on each quiz before progressing to the next topic, ensuring complete understanding and building confidence systematically.

Comprehensive Assessment

After mastering all topics within a subject, students undertake a minimum of 5 mock tests per subject. This rigorous assessment process consolidates learning and builds exam readiness.

Course Completion Recognition

Upon successfully completing all components across English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning, students receive a Course Completion Certificate from Oxford College of Education.

Please note: This certificate acknowledges successful completion of our preparation course and is not a formal 11+ result or qualification. Students must sit the official examination at their designated test centre to receive their final 11+ scores.

Complete Visibility & Progress Tracking

Our platform provides full transparency for students, parents, and tutors to monitor every step of the learning journey. All assessment results are automatically logged and organized, allowing you to view performance across entire subjects, specific topics, or even individual concepts.

Smart Analytics for Targeted Improvement

Automated progress reports and visual dashboards pinpoint exactly where focus is needed most. This data-driven approach ensures study time is invested strategically, creating a truly personalized learning experience that adapts to each student’s unique needs.

Extensive 11+ Question Repository

Access an extensive digital library featuring thousands of carefully crafted practice questions across all four core 11+ disciplines: English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

Your 11+ Journey: Questions Answered Simply

Navigating the path to grammar or independent school can feel complex. We’re here to provide clear answers and a straightforward preparation route for your family.

Understanding the 11+ Process

What exactly is the 11+ exam?
It’s a competitive admissions test used by many top secondary schools to identify students with strong academic potential.

When do children sit the exam?
The test is held early in Year 6, but building foundational skills often begins in the preceding years.

Which subjects will my child be tested on?
The core areas are English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning, though each school selects its preferred combination.

Why is extra preparation vital for success?
Key components like Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning aren’t part of the standard school day, making familiarisation with these question types essential.
Who creates these exams?
The main organisations are GL Assessment and CEM, though some schools design their own bespoke assessments.

How does this differ from my child’s regular school tests?
Unlike standardised curriculum tests, the 11+ is a competitive exam designed to differentiate between high-achieving students, often testing skills beyond the normal classroom scope.

What is the time pressure like?
Most individual exam sections are strictly timed, typically lasting between three-quarters of an hour to a full hour.

When is the ideal time to begin preparation?
Many families find starting in Year 4 allows for calm, progressive learning, while Year 5 is the prime period for focused exam readiness.

What is the enrolment period?
You can select either a 12-month or a more extensive 24-month access period to suit your preparation timeline.

Is the platform mobile-friendly?
Yes, it works seamlessly across all devices. The Moodle Workplace app also lets your child learn on the go.

How does your value compare to private tutoring?
While private tutors can charge significant hourly rates, our platform delivers unlimited access to a vast curriculum for a single subscription fee, offering outstanding long-term value.

What support can we access?
Technical support is included via email. For personalised academic coaching, we provide optional one-to-one sessions at a competitive rate.

Will my child need constant supervision?
Not at all. The platform is designed for independent use, with clear guidance and interactive elements that keep students engaged and self-directed.

What is the recommended study routine?
We suggest consistent, manageable sessions—typically 60 minutes, several times per week—to build knowledge without overwhelm.

Can we try before we commit?
Certainly. We offer a full 14-day trial period to experience the platform firsthand.

When can we begin?
Enrollment is open year-round. Begin your learning journey the moment you sign up.

Do you offer payment flexibility?
Yes, we provide interest-free payment plans to help families manage the investment.

How do I know this aligns with our target schools?
Our curriculum is meticulously crafted to match the requirements of both GL and CEM exam formats, ensuring broad relevance for selective school entry.

What if we encounter technical issues?
Our specialist support team is on hand to promptly resolve any technical queries.

Exam-Specific Preparation

Need targeted preparation? Our platform provides specialized courses for both GL and CEM exam formats, with board-specific practice materials and mock tests.

Understanding the 11+ Exam Providers: CEM vs. GL

When preparing for the 11+, understanding the different approaches of the two main exam providers is crucial for effective preparation.

About the Organisations

CEM (Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring)
CEM operates as part of Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world-renowned educational institution. Backed by Cambridge University’s academic research and global assessment expertise, CEM focuses on developing evaluations that measure academic potential and learning development.

GL Assessment
GL Education specializes specifically in educational assessment across multiple sectors. With an international presence, GL collaborates with leading academic institutions including the University of York to ensure their assessments reflect current educational best practices. Their tests are widely used by schools, local authorities, and government bodies.

Key Differences in Their 11+ Approach

While both organizations assess similar core skills, their methodologies and exam structures differ significantly:

CEM Characteristics:

Emphasizes application of knowledge in new contexts
Often combines subjects within single papers
Typically features longer, more complex texts in English sections
Focuses on vocabulary breadth and verbal reasoning skills
Known for unpredictable question formats and timings
Rarely publishes past papers or practice materials

GL Assessment Characteristics:

Follows more predictable question formats year-to-year
Usually tests subjects in separate, dedicated papers
Provides clearer curriculum guidelines and familiar question types
Offers commercial practice materials and published papers
Maintains consistent timing structures across exams
Features distinct mathematical, verbal and non-verbal reasoning sections

Strategic Preparation Differences

For CEM Exams:

Prioritize vocabulary development and reading comprehension
Practice working under time pressure with unfamiliar formats
Develop mental arithmetic and mathematical application skills
Focus on flexibility and adaptability in problem-solving

For GL Assessment Exams:

Master specific question types through repeated practice
Utilize available past papers and commercial resources
Build speed and accuracy with familiar formats
Focus on subject-specific preparation strategies
