Hi,

Can any previous years parents post the kind the sections (e.g. comprehension) that appeared in each test and the timing challenge as this would help estimate the speed thats required to possibly answer all questions in each test ?

Heard that there will be surprise section each year , is this true ?

Thank you in advance.

What happened in the past doesn't mean it will happen again. FAR better than you tell your son to LISTEN very carefullyto any instructions given by invigilators and on the tape and if he doesn't undestand the instructions to ask for clarification before any timed test begins.

Too often people give their children a list of prescriptions about how they think the test will pan out and then the children are, apparently, thrown when it doesn't pan out how their parent has told them. If you just tell them to listen carefully then they should not be thrown by anything.

Make sure they expect the unexpected seems to be the thing with CEM.
