Where the official practice material is

GL Assessment

Free familiarisation booklets that show the question types, the timings and how the answer sheet works. GL do not release past papers, so anything sold as a GL past paper was written by somebody else.

What families in Warwickshire need to know

  • Six schools share the test: Alcester Grammar, Lawrence Sheriff, King Edward VI Stratford, Stratford Girls' Grammar, Rugby High and Ashlawn School (which is partially selective rather than a full grammar).
  • Warwickshire moved from CEM to GL for 2023 entry, jointly procured with the Birmingham consortium.
