The Post-Primary Transfer Consortium (PPTC) said papers would be significantly modified to take into account the disruption to pupils education because of Covid-19.
The tests for the 2022 intake will be held on Saturday 13 November.
PPTC assessments are used, in the main, by Catholic grammar schools.
Those schools will have their own admissions criteria for 2022.
In a statement on Monday, PPTC which runs the GL tests, said 13 November was a date that reflected the desire of parents and teachers that the assessment be held in November rather than later in the school year , and that testing at centres would ensure all pupils had the same experience.
