CEM Exams Revision Strategy_Sept 2017?

Post by sjroshan »

Hi,
My DS is sitting for the CEM exam (Essex) in 3 weeks time.What do you recommend the revision strategy should be, as I do not want to stress him out as well because nearing exams the kids are in a melt down mode.

I've started doing timed exam papers and addressing areas that he needed help based on Mocks that he sat so far.

Any other tips on revision techniques?

It sounds like you are doing very well! We haven't yet progressed to mock practice papers.....

Try the CEM 10 minute tests and aim to cut the time down to 7 minutes whilst maintaining the accuracy. Same with the longer papers - cut the time allowed by at least 10%.

Thanks grgygirl. Yes, I'm currently working on 10 min tests too and trying to get him to work within or earlier than the given timing.
