This is a full CEM-style mixed practice paper covering all four areas: English, Verbal Reasoning, Mathematics, and Non-Verbal Reasoning — all interleaved within the same paper. In a CEM exam, you must switch between subjects rapidly. This paper simulates that experience.
Read the following extract.
The old bookshop stood at the end of a cobbled lane, its windows clouded with dust and its sign hanging at an angle. Inside, shelves stretched from floor to ceiling, crammed with volumes of every size and colour. The air smelled of paper and polish and something else — something old and mysterious, as if the stories themselves had seeped into the walls. Mrs Okonkwo, the owner, sat behind the counter with her glasses perched on the tip of her nose. She knew the location of every single book by heart.
