As Close as Possible to the Actual Exam
Marie Redmond Tuition® Mock Exams are designed to be as similar as possible to the actual exam. Each year we meet with many of our students a week after they sit the Slough Consortium and Reading CEM test and as a result gain useful insights into the exam. We have in-depth discussions about the types of questions they encountered, including any new types that hadn’t been seen previously. We also discuss the timing of sections and the layout of the papers and answer sheets. Following our feedback sessions, we annually adapt our papers to ensure your child is thoroughly prepared.
Although we don’t know exactly what’s going to be in the next exam, the detailed insights gained in these feedback sessions are invaluable and ensure that our Slough Consortium and Reading 11 Plus mock exams remain as close as possible to the real thing.
Feedback from students
In 2018 our students reported that Marie Redmond Tuition’s mock exams were very similar to the actual test. The prevailing view was that the mock tests were ‘just like taking a mock exam’.
