Cambridge CEM assessments for students aged 3-19
Cambridge CEM’s computer-based, adaptive baseline assessments provide an objective view of your students’ strengths and abilities in key areas and a wealth of data that can shape your teaching and unlock their potential.
“These assessments really help teachers and parents come together on one page. It has helped the teachers to have conversations with the parents to identify any gaps between the potential and the real performance of students”
“CEM data allows us to deepen our understanding of the ways in which assessment data can be used to improve individual student learning”
"At The British School, we use CEM data to provide predictive or indicative grades for IGCSE and IB Diploma examinations, and to validate our internal assessments of student ability."
Transform information into insight with Cambridge CEM Professional Development
