CEM expands testing system throughout some southern counties

From September 2013 many grammar schools in the south of the UK will adopt the CEM (Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring at Durham University) system for the 11+ entrance exams. The tests include questions on verbal and non verbal reasoning, English comprehension and mathematical problem solving.

At the time of releasing this information (7/2/2013), the following counties, areas and schools have confirmed that they have commissioned the CEM to provide the 11+ exams from September this year:

The London Borough of Bexley – click here for more information

The Chelmsford County High School for Girls – click here for more information

Buckinghamshire have also expressed intention to change the test provider to the CEM, for exams being sat in 2013 for 2014 entry – click here to find out more

 The Birmingham and Warwickshire areas have been following the CEM structure for over 6 years. The courses and mock exams offered at KSOL cover the four main subject areas and help to ensure that each child is fully prepared for the 11+ exams. For children based outside of the Midlands, the KSOL Online Graduate programme is ideal for ensuring this preparation is achieved by tailoring it to suit the individual’s needs and providing focus on areas of weakness as the child progresses.
