CEM and CSSE prep for 2020/2021 Entry (DD)

[MuM247]

Good evening.

I'm new to the forum and have searched some keywords to read up on above topics but just want to be sure and informed to help prepare my DD for these two different exams. She will be starting year 5 in September 2019.

1. CEM test for Chelmsford school only
2. CSSE tests for Southend, Westcliff en Colchester Girls schools

I am quite familiar with test papers from CSSE as I've bought some online already but I'm not sure how to prepare her for the CEM test that seems quite different? (from what I've heard)

Where can I find mock test papers for the CEM test? Is it multiple choice for all areas of the test (comprehension/grammar/maths)?

Many thanks in advance?

No official CEM papers. However, to get a feel for CEM look at CGP and Bond books, specific to CEM, to get a feel for what kind of questions may appear. Having said that, anything may appear and child needs to be well prepared. Timing is another important issue for CEM.
