About the Medway Test

Revision Library editorial team

The Medway Test is the 11+ selection assessment used by Medway's grammar schools and is set by GL Assessment. Children sit timed multiple-choice papers covering Maths and Verbal Reasoning, answered by choosing one of five options for each question, alongside a separately marked English task that assesses a pupil's ability to plan and produce an extended piece of writing within a fixed time. This mock pack mirrors that structure across three timed sections: a 25-minute Maths paper, a 12-minute Verbal Reasoning paper covering twenty different GL-style question types, and an extended writing task modelled on the English composition element. Working through all three sections under timed conditions, without stopping the clock or turning back to an earlier section, is good preparation for the real assessment. The exact balance of papers and question types can vary between admission rounds, so always check the current arrangements published by Medway Council or the child's target school before relying on any single format.
