CEM aptitude tests are designed specifically for selective Independent and Grammar schools by the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring. They are online, largely multiple choice assessments.  The test is highly adaptable and can vary from school to school. However, in most cases the test covers three core subjects: Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning and Numeracy. It is not uncommon for a school to use only the Reasoning aspects of the test, or to combine the entire test with their own paper-based assessments.
