Admissions Information for entry in September 2014 – CEM 11 Plus
The London Borough of Bexley are making changes to the selection tests that children will sit in September 2013 onwards.
Children will NOT automatically sit the test as in previous years. Parents will have to inform the school or Local Authority of their wish for their child to sit the exam.
The testing has also been changed, see below and see this information sheet from London Borough of Bexley here
Please also see the London Borough of Bexley website here
Sample questions can be found on their website here
The Bexley tests for 2014 will be in CEM 11 Plus format, as written by CEM (Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring)of Durham University.
The tests will include Verbal reasoning, Non-verbal reasoning, English comprehension and Mathematical problem solving.
(Last year the test was GL Assessment, Maths and Verbal Reasoning multiple choice)
There will be two 45 minute tests; the papers will be divided into smaller individually timed sections. Each paper will consist of a mixture of questions from the four subjects. The questions will be multiple choice.
Children will take both tests on the same morning/afternoon with a break of 30 minutes in between. Each test lasts one hour, including examples and then 45 minutes to answer the questions.
Familiarisation materials will be sent to all applicants.
Please see other areas already administering the CEM 11 Plus test for examples of the test: Birmingham and Warwickshire. Please note that the CEM 11 plus exam is written specific to each school or region, therefore not all CEM 11 plus exams will be the same, but there will be similarities.
