Practice Test
In September your child will take the Practice Test before they take the Secondary Transfer Test.

The Practice Test looks the same as the Secondary Transfer Test and has the same instructions. Your child will sit the two multiple-choice Practice Test papers in test conditions. These are both timed like the Secondary Transfer Test. An audio soundtrack gives the instructions for the test.

The Practice Test will mean your child becomes very familiar with the different sorts of questions and the style of the test. Your child will get used to using a separate answer sheet. Your child will experience this under test conditions. The Practice Test papers are shorter than the Secondary Transfer Test:

they take about 40 minutes each
they are not marked or sent home
The purpose of the Practice Test is not to see how well your child has done. It is to give your child a good opportunity to prepare for the Secondary Transfer Test.

he did not have to complete an answer sheet (line through multiple choice answer)

he did not have to complete an answer sheet (line through multiple choice answer), there was alot of noise in hall and he said it looked nothing like the mocjs he has done before..

My DS had to fill his own name in for the mock.


For the actual exam tomorrow do you think the names will be printed on the answer sheet in advance? I remember this was the case when my older two children took the CEM 11 plus a couple of years ago.
