Information about the CEM 11+ Tests
Verbal Reasoning (VR)

Verbal reasoning includes reading comprehension, cloze passages and vocabulary sections.
Reading comprehension tests a child’s ability to make inferences, understand vocabulary and
extract accurate interpretations of the text. Cloze tests are passages which contain missing
words. They also assess an overall understanding of the passage, but require closer attention
to the grammatical and syntactic elements of written language than in the comprehension test.
The verbal reasoning vocabulary section involves the manipulation of verbal representations
and the solving of verbally presented problems. Orthographic, syntactic and semantic abilities,
as well as logic and other problem solving skills are needed in verbal reasoning.

A rich vocabulary is essential as well as an understanding of synonyms and antonyms.
Numerical Reasoning

Numerical reasoning includes longer maths, shorter maths and data processing sections. These
sections will assess your child’s ability in mental arithmetic as well as problem solving within a
multi part question format.
Non-Verbal reasoning (NVR)

Non-verbal reasoning assesses intelligence through the manipulation of shapes using rotation,
reflection, symmetry, shape, positions number, size, and shading. It is meant to eliminate
cultural bias in testing and possible bias against any child who may have difficulty with verbal
elements.

CEM exams have tight time limits, with separately timed sections, and pretty challenging
vocabulary. They include short/long maths problem testing and how well a student can apply
their numeracy skills in ‘real life’ scenarios. A selection of non-verbal reasoning questions
(manipulation of shapes and images) is included to test core non-language specific logic skills.
EASTER REVISION COURSES
If you want to supplement your revision with intensive days of study in the build up to exams, with
experts on hand to guide and direct you, yes it is. You can cover so much more during these days
than you would in your personal revision at home. The days are focused, efficient and effective.
Expect to see the difference in your exam results come August!
Exam Technique

Ways to maximise marks on shorter answer questions

Avoid missing out unnecessarily on marks you can easily gain

How to structure longer answer and conceptual questions

Methods to avoid repeating yourself and rambling

