11 Plus Exam Boards

11 Plus Exam Boards

CEM

  • Originally developed by the University of Durham to discourage ‘teaching to the test’

  • Covers verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning and numerical reasoning

  • CEM papers are mixed, with one exam combining English and verbal reasoning and another combining maths and non-verbal reasoning. Standard Format, Multiple Choice, or a combination may be used.

  • Timings are allocated to each section, and children will need to carefully manage their time. There will typically be more questions than are likely to be answered in the time allocated.

GL Assessment

  • Used in the majority of grammar schools in the UK.

  • Covers English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning / Spatial Awareness.

  • Schools can choose any combination of these subjects to best suit their selection policy.

  • Most exam papers are either Standard Format (where answers are written in spaces next to the question) or Multiple Choice (where answers are marked in a separate answer book).

  • The length of test papers can vary, although 45 minutes is the most common exam time.

Complete the enquiry form; found below. Ensure you include your availability, student details, level, tuition type and any other details you feel are relevant. We will get back to you as soon as we can (usually within 24 hours).

Initial Assessment and Consultation

Once we have received your enquiry and discussed it with you, we will arrange a time for your child to come into our centre and undertake an assessment to see what level they are at. We will then meet with you to discuss our findings and develop a learning plan tailored to your child.

Session and Student Matching

Once we have discussed it with you, we will assign you a session time and a teacher. Whilst we will always try our best to assign you the session time that you requested, this cannot always be accommodated.
