Will there be Creative writing/Letter writing/Essay writing for CEM Exam (Slough/ Reading Boys)? Do I prepare my son for these? We haven't joined any tuition's/tutors, so I am not aware of the preparation method. Please help!!

Have you tried the school websites or the Berkshire section of this forum? I'm sure someone will be along soon to help out. Is it for this year?

How did you register your DC to sit the 11+? Usually, there is some information about the general format of the exam somewhere around the same place.

Thanks.

I checked on the websites but couldn't find any information. I started with creative writing preparation and later was told that Reading boys/Slough schools dont have creative writing. I am confused :(

He will be appearing in September 2018. I haven't registered anywhere.

I already answered this exact question for you in the English section on Friday.

Why are you confused?

For the second time CEM does not include Creative Writing.

Reading boys and Slough are 100% CEM. DG

Hi
There won't be any creative writing for the Berks CEM tests. Good luck, we are sitting the same test :)
