New 11+ (I didn't understand the old one!)
Please be patient with a new user -
My child is in year five and I have just filled in the form to register for the 11+ in Warwickshire.
I am told by the Education Dept. that the test has changed this year to the Durham University CEM paper. This means not a lot to me as I don't know what the old one was!
However, I am told that it would be useful to get my child to practice but then I am told in the next breath that there are no papers to test her with!
Can this be true? Can someone please help me?

Confusedmum - KenR knows a lot about this so pm him (hope you don't mind KenR?).
I believe its a similar test to Eton which is computer based and therefore there is no practise papers which I think is a good thing as it is to do with potential/IQ so a bright kid who isn't achieving at school due to disadvantaged circumstances have, at last, a fairer chance of getting into grammar school.
