Format of the CEM Select Exams
The CEM Select assesses verbal ability, non-verbal ability, and numerical ability. The exam is split into either five or six short sections, with the whole exam taking around an hour to complete. Practice questions are included before the start of each section. Three or four of the sections will test verbal ability, one or two will test numerical ability, and only one section will test non-verbal ability. The following table provides an example of what the sections could look like:
| Section 1 | Verbal Ability | English Comprehension | Answer questions about one passage of text. |
| Section 2 | Verbal Ability | Anagrams* | Unscramble the anagram in each sentence. |
| Section 3 | Verbal Ability | Missing Words | Fill in the missing words in two passages. |
| Section 4 | Verbal Ability | Related Words* | Find the synonym for each word. |
| Section 5 | Numerical Ability | General Maths | Answer questions that test a variety of skills, for example: calculations, fractions, area and statistics. |
| Section 6 | Non-Verbal Ability | Pictures | Recognise patterns in each grid of eight pictures, and choose which picture is missing from the grid. |
* These sections are the most likely to change year-to-year. Our four mocks cover 4 different types that could occur in these sections: Anagrams, Related Words, Shuffled Sentences, and Multiple Meanings.
1. Carefully Researched
We conduct thorough, ongoing research to make sure that our mock exams are as accurate as possible. You can therefore rest assured that your child will be working to the right difficulty level, with our mock packs also incorporating similar instructions and timings to the actual test. These CEM Select mocks will give your child an accurate view of what they can expect on the day.
2. Build Stamina at Home Doing Realistic CEM Select Mock Exams
We aim to provide the most realistic mock exams on the market so that your child can build experience of the stamina and standard required in the real thing. Many children struggle on the day because they don’t realise how difficult it will be to concentrate for the full time period required. Doing these mocks at home helps children to get used to the high levels of stamina and concentration needed so they are best prepared for the day itself.
3. Better Value Than Computer-Based Mocks
Buying a computer-based mock exam can be useful in terms of familiarising your child with answering questions on a computer, however one of these mocks can cost around £50. For the same price of one computer-based mock, you can buy four of our paper-based mocks and boost your child’s preparation even further. Our mock exam packs include detailed advice on how to run the mock exam yourself including full invigilation details.
Completing three or four mocks at home under exam conditions will provide the most rounded preparation for your child by building stamina and allowing them to learn from mistakes and cement improvement.
If you do then decide to do an computer-based mock, you’ll get the best value from it as you know your child will have experience of the style of questions and the difficulty level, and they will have the stamina needed.
4. Understand Your Areas of Weakness
Testing your child’s abilities against our mock exams and reviewing the detailed answers sections will show any areas of weakness that need improvement. It could be that your child needs to work on their exam technique, topic knowledge or core skills. Completing our mock exams will ensure that your child’s preparation is as tailored and focused as possible.
5. Additional Help and Advice for Parents
