More Information on 11+ CEM
Though one can find a good range of resources for children to prepare for CEM tests, CEM doesn’t produce or endorse any commercially available practice papers, preparation materials, tutoring or coaching schemes. ‘The resources that are available to purchase are not in any way associated with CEM 11+. This is deliberate, in an attempt to make the assessment as fair as possible and not give an advantage to children whose parents are able to pay for extra services or resources.
CEM however, produces familiarisation materials for school or areas where its tests are used so the children can get an idea of the look and feel of the test and the sort of questions that might be involved.
Things you can do to make your child prepare better for CEM 11+ is to encourage them to ‘read’ a wide range of texts and ‘think’ about what they’re reading, ‘practise’ maths and problem-solving in everyday situations, get used to working quietly and independently, complete their homework and check their answers.
