About the CEM 11+ Practice Papers (Ages 9-10)

CEM 11+ Practice Papers (Ages 9-10) from Scholastic gives your Year 5 or Year 6 child authentic exam practice designed to match the format and challenge of real CEM 11+ tests. If your child is preparing for selective school entry, these papers offer the most realistic preparation available, covering English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning in a single resource. Each practice test is structured exactly as your child will experience on exam day, building familiarity and reducing anxiety when it matters most.

Inside you'll find two complete CEM-style tests, each split into Paper A and Paper B, delivered in the authentic multiple-choice format used by CEM exam boards. The questions span reading comprehension, vocabulary, problem solving, mental arithmetic and both verbal and non-verbal reasoning, so your child practises every skill the real test demands. Full answers with clear explanations are included, making it straightforward to review mistakes, understand the reasoning behind each solution, and turn errors into learning opportunities. Answer sheets and short-answer grids are provided, letting your child rehearse under timed, test-like conditions at home.

Because the format mirrors genuine CEM tests, your child learns to manage their time, interpret instructions quickly, and approach each section with a clear strategy. The result is a pupil who walks into the exam hall feeling prepared, focused and ready to demonstrate their true ability—without last-minute panic or confusion over what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this suitable for my child?

The CEM 11+ Practice Papers (Ages 9-10) is perfectly suited for children in Year 5 or Year 6 who are preparing to take the CEM 11+ exams, which are typically sat in the September - October period of Year 6.

This resource is particularly helpful for children sitting CEM-style tests in areas as well as regions where schools use mixed exam boards that include CEM papers.

While specifically designed for children preparing for the CEM 11+ tests, the CEM 11+ Practice Papers (Ages 9-10) also provides excellent preparation for independent school entrance exams, typically held in the January - February period of Year 6, as many of these exams follow a similar format.
