Bond CEM vs CGP
Posted: Thu May 14, 2020 9:05 am
Hi All,
I’ve purchased all the Bond and CGP books and my DD is working through them well. My question is the level of difficulty between the maths is quite significant.
Example of Bond 11+ CEM question
Read the following information and then answer the questions:
You must answer both correctly to receive a mark.
In a quartet the first violin player was 5 years older than the cellist and 2 years younger than the viola player. He was 5 years younger than the second violinist who was 33.
How old was the cellist?
How old was the viola player?
Example of CGP CEM question
50 people were asked what colour their car was. 16 people said blue.
What percentage of people did not say blue?
Having been through all the cgp books the level is nowhere near the same. Just wondering what everyone else has experienced, did you stick with CGP or did you also mix in the bond questions later on as I think they are too advanced at this point.
