Most beginners will start on the Acoustic Guitar exams.

RGT Acoustic Guitar series
If you click the picture above you will go to RGT's book selling website. You can also buy them in the shops though not all will have them.
These Acoustic books go from Initial and Preliminary through to grade 8, although I normally bypass the first two and go from grade 1.
The tunes are quite nice sounding Folk/Traditional tunes that cover a variety of Acoustic styles and techniques.

Classical Guitar Exam books
These Classical Grades are very well structured and have some fantastic pieces in them, and provide a nice challenge for the young budding Segovia!
Rockschool Guitar Grades
Rockschool exams comprise of learning set pieces which are performed along with a cd backing track. They do cover a good range of electric guitar styles.
RGT Electric Guitar Grade series. www.rgt.org
These Electric Guitar grades are suited to the improvising guitarist. No pieces to learn as soloing and chart reading skills are the main focus.
