Re: CEM Vocabulary
We used a website called free rice. Oh, and another tip: READ! Me and my DD compiled words and wrote their meanings on little pieces of paper. Every day, I used to test her on a couple of words (lottery style).
Hope that helps!
Hope that helps!
Re: CEM Vocabulary
here is my solution. It is a silly little python script for drilling. I compiled the list from various online lists and testbooks. Feel free to use just the list or the script. If you need help with it I will be happy to document it.

Does anyone know how to import a list into the app Quizlet? Or has anyone found a cem vocab list in Quizlet?
Thanks so much!!

Re: CEM Vocabulary
beac_mum - did you get get a reply to the question as I'm trying (now) to figure the same thing out.
Any help from anyone would be appreciated!

Re: CEM Vocabulary
I did it by setting up an account and then going to the homepage to "create list". Once you are into that section it offers you boxes to cut and paste your terms into. Down at the bottom right of that page you can "import list" using a blue button. Paste the list you want into the box and then move on to the next stage where you can title and format/change terms before publishing. Make sure you have the list formatted before you import it though - ie have the term and definitions separated by the same symbols throughout. Good luck!
Re: CEM Vocabulary
New to this forum and finding all the information very useful. Thanks everyone.

Re: CEM Vocabulary
Sharing my way of building up vocabulary.
English isn't my first language. I remember in the dates when I primed up my English skills for Master degree course in England, I use a forgetting curve (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting_curve" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) technique to build up my vocabulary. I managed to stuff my brain for around 100 words a week. That is actually quite a lot, considering each batch of words needs to be revisited in no less than 5 times over two weeks.
Now my son is preparing 11+, he has got a good memory and enjoys reading. We devised a process for him to memorised words in a most efficient way. He will spend 30 minutes initially, then 15 mins, then (5 mins x 3) to 'consume' 25 words, every week.
The words are coming from Patricia's famous list here and other sources. One very useful one is from kindle library where he collected the words while reading.
This is how it works:
Every week we have 25 words previously identified that he needs to work. He can lookup online dictionary (we use Google) and a word visualise tool, which gives synonyms and the context in a tree like graphic links. Then he need to note the words and three synonyms in a notepad. 3 in a row, 5 in a row, making sentence etc.
What is more, he recorded a dictation audio clip for each week, so can playback again and again to test himself.
The methods seemed at first complicated. With some planning ahead, it is quite 'hand-free' to the parents. We have some friends buddying up on learning vocabulary this way. It works quite well with theirs too.
P.S. It goes without saying: perseverance is the key to success, not the 'cleverest' brain.

Re: CEM Vocabulary
"updated 3 September 2014"
This Patricia's list seems to be mentioned many times on this forum, but looks a bit out-dated, missing last 3 years of CEM tests.
Could any of the recent test-takers please contribute to the list of words that appeared on REAL CEM exam? Thank you!
