Here is a fairly detailed list of the topics & components typically covered in 13+ (Common Entrance / grammar / senior school entrance) exams in the UK. The exact format and subjects vary by school, but this is based largely on the ISEB CE (Independent Schools Examinations Board) syllabus and common practice. If you tell me which school or region you’re interested in, I can give a more specific list.
I assume by “all four subjects” you mean: English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning (as in many grammar-style tests). However, note that at 13+ many schools use CE which has more subjects (Science, languages, humanities, etc.). I’ll focus first on the core ones plus note the extras.
