For 2023 entry onwards, Birmingham grammar schools have opted for GL Assessment instead of CEM as their 11+ exam provider. The 11+ exam will be taken in two sessions (AM and PM) and will consist of two papers, each lasting approximately 60 minutes.
The areas covered are as follows:
- English Comprehension
- Verbal Reasoning
- Mathematics
- Non-Verbal + Spatial Reasoning
The scores will be age-standardised, ensuring that each student is assessed fairly. The exam will not include an English writing component.
There will be a short break between the two exam sessions. Please note that your child may be disqualified if they bring along mobile phones, a calculator, a smartwatch, a tablet or an iPod. They also must not mark the question booklets, as they should use separate answer sheets for that purpose.
