I wonder if one of the schools is changing their format for 2016 as the DAO VR exam is a week before the Herts one?

They have moved to CEM super saturday!!
I would say this means they are doing the complete CEM exam, same as everyone else except DAO and HBS. So NVR, Maths and English VR with Comprehension.
They put their toe in the water this year and now they are going all the way.

Though it could also mean that they were so overwhelmed by eleven plus tourism last year (because they were the only local CEM exam before CEM Super Saturday) that they decided to move a week later to wipe it out.
DAO doesn't need to worry as they have a catchment area so they were happy to remain before CEM Super Saturday.
We won't know which of the two it is until they post their familiarisation booklet and we can then ascertain if it includes Numerical Reasoning and NVR or not.
My gut feel is that they are going 100% CEM with the same paper as Latymer, Redbridge Slough and Reading etc. DG
