Ibstock

[Ds123]

Can anybody share any insight into any good resources for studying for the Ibstock exam next week. I understand it is the CEM. Are there any suggested resources or tips for the exam? We have been using the PIA acadamy sample CEM tests but I wondered if there was a better resource.

Not sure if these are better but www.exampaperplus.co.uk also do a set.

The online CEM test is called CEM Select. It's a bit different to their paper-based tests but there are similarities too. My daughter sat this exam for another school in November.

The school directed us to this site for official familiarisation questions: www.intuproject.org/CEMSelect/CSFamiliarisation.html

I don't know if the Ibstock test is the same but the only practice tests we found relevant were the ones on pretestplus.co.uk

My DS did ibstock last January and is there now. He did the example test they gave just to familiarise himself with how to do an on line test. I'm not sure you can "practice" the test itself but I think being familiar with on line testing is good.
Best of luck. It's a crap month for 11+ and hope it goes well.

Can I ask what's your thoughts are on Ibstock?

I can't seem to get into the intuproject.org anyone else having the same problem

We had trouble too. In the end, we had to enable flash in settings and then it worked. It was just half a dozen or so sample questions to get a feel for the format.
Hopefully you can get it to work, but if not, here's what I can remember -
There's a page where they have to type in their details (name, gender, school, dob etc) and then some blurb on question format and timing. As long as your DC reads everything carefully, it will be fine.

I could not access the link as well. Seems they are down for maintenance. What bad timing!
