It is/was the exam that sorted people into grammar schools and secondary moderns. Almost entirely gone, except in, I think, Northern Ireland and parts of Kent, where those kinds of schools still explicitly exist. Mind you, I can't really see the difference between that and "beacon schools" and "technology colleges" and whatever else that are allowed to select. One of many reasons why any children I might have will be educated in the Scottish system.
