11+ (GL) key facts & eligibility
| Conducting body | GL Assessment (the test publisher); individual grammar-school consortia/admissions authorities set the pass mark and administer entry. |
|---|---|
| Official website | gl-assessment.co.uk — GL Assessment ↗ |
| Mode | Predominantly paper-based multiple-choice in a standardised format (answers on a separate answer sheet), taken in exam-centre/school conditions. |
| Frequency | Once a year, in the autumn of Year 6, for entry to grammar school the following September. |
| Scoring & marking | The consortium chooses from four subjects — English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Raw scores are converted to a Standardised Age Score (SAS) adjusted for the child’s exact age in months, with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15 (GL’s SAS range is roughly 69–141). The qualifying/pass mark is set by each grammar-school consortium or admissions authority, not by GL, so it varies by area and competitiveness. |
| Score validity | Used for the single admission round it is sat for. |
| Language | English. |
