FSCE 11+ Exam
NEW FOR 2025:
If your child is applying to Reading School, they’ll take the FSCE entrance exam, a unique 11+ assessment that’s different from traditional 11+ exams. FSCE is fully based on the national curriculum (up to Year 5) and avoids separate reasoning papers. Instead, it focuses on how well children apply what they’ve learned in school across real subjects like English, maths, science, and more. The test is split across four named papers:
-
Adventure Paper (Multiple Choice):
Tests English, maths and other curriculum subjects
Assesses comprehension, vocabulary, problem-solving, and factual knowledge -
Beacon Paper (Short Answers):
Requires written responses to subject-based questions
Assesses accuracy, reasoning, spelling and mental calculation -
Compass Paper (Multiple Choice):
Similar to Adventure, with a mix of subjects and question types
Focuses on curriculum knowledge under time pressure -
Discovery Paper (Creative Response):
A written task testing imagination and expression
Assesses creativity, coherence, language, and original thinking
GL 11+ Exam
If your child is applying to a school that uses the GL assessment format, it is important to understand what the test includes and how it might differ from other formats such as FSCE. GL exams focus on core academic skills, assessing logic and reasoning abilities in the form of Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-verbal Reasoning. The test is in a multiple choice format.
-
English (Comprehension & Vocabulary):
Tests reading comprehension, grammar and punctuation
Assesses inference, spelling, synonyms, sentence structure -
Mathematics (Numerical Reasoning):
Covers KS2 maths topics (up to Year 6)
Assesses calculation, word problems, logic, and number sense -
Verbal Reasoning:
Not taught in school—tests word patterns and logic
Assesses code-cracking, sequences, analogies, letter/word relationships -
Non-Verbal Reasoning:
Also not taught in school—tests spatial and pattern recognition
Assesses shape sequences, rotations, and visual logic
