Further 11+ CEM Information

In order to gain a more detailed understanding of what CEM papers are please follow this link. In short, CEM is an exam board that produces papers such as the 11 Plus exam. CEM papers consist of numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. For wider information on 11 plus exams please see our page on preparation.

CEM do not publish their own past papers, nor do they use other publishers to do so. To get an idea of the type of tests CEM will use please have a look through the CEM 11 Plus Booklets (below). These have been issued by CEM to illustrate the type of questions children will face. In addition to the booklets published by CEM (Durham University), several publishers have also started to issue their best guess of what an actual CEM paper might look like. Free CEM 11 Plus Papers issued by these reputable publishers are available through the links further down the page.

Feedback and results indicate that questions are often significantly harder than illustrated in the booklets, equally please remember that CEM are free to change questions or introduce new formats whenever they like. They have for instance previously tested for grammar knowledge and equally, they introduced the jumbled sentences question a few years ago without notice. 

Important: It is vital to combine the use of papers with other learning resources to help your child develop their 11 Plus skills and not to keep making the same mistakes. Our recommended CEM course for revision is the 11 Plus Revision- CEM Course as it is extremely good at helping your child work accurately and ensures they have all the core skills required. Learning Street also have other CEM specific courses that are very good such as their Vocabulary and Verbal Reasoning Enhance CEM Course and Vocabulary and Verbal Reasoning Boost CEM Course.
