GL Assessment
Multiple-choice papers covering English, Maths and both types of reasoning — the standard format for most UK grammar schools.
CEM
Places more weight on wide vocabulary, working quickly, and reasoning under pressure than a standard GL paper.
CSSE
Written-answer papers in English, Maths and Creative Writing — no multiple choice.
ISEB
Either the adaptive Common Pre-Test or the more curriculum-based Common Entrance, depending on the school.
Grammar School Assessments
Some grammar schools set their own bespoke exams — including regional and school-designed papers — rather than using GL, CEM or CSSE.
Spatial Awareness
Supplementary practice for the spatial reasoning skills that show up across many non-verbal reasoning papers.
Problem Solving
Supplementary practice that builds the independent, multi-step reasoning skills that many exam boards reward.
