About the GL ExamsGL examinations are used by 34 PPTC schools as part of the selection criteria for year 8 admissions. A list of PPTC schools can be found at www.pptcni.com. On the day of the examinations children will sit one English paper and one Maths paper, both of which are in a multiple choice format. Before the main examinations there will be a practice and familiarisation session during which children can complete practice questions and get used to the exam format. They will get time for a break before they start the main papers.

During the examinations, the children will use an answer sheet to record their answers. For the purposes of this practice paper where an answer booklet has not been provided, children should mark their answers on the paper itself. When the GL examination results are issued, each child will receive a standardised mark.

GL English paper: • 60 questions • 50 minutes to complete – children taking the test in January 2021 will be allowed 60 minutes • To answer the questions pupils must choose from one or two of five multiple choice options, completing their answers on an answer booklet.

GL Maths paper: • 45 questions • 45 minutes to complete - children taking the test in January 2021 will be allowed 50 minutes • To answer the questions pupils must choose from one or two of five multiple choice options, completing their answers on an answer booklet.
