Areas of the country that still have direct grant Grammar schools, do have an examination, but the standard no way equates to the old 11-Plus, which was abolished in 1974.
Just as GCSEs are much easier than their supposed predecessor, the O-level.

As is also fact that spelling and grammar used to be a prerequisite for university entrance.
