Understand student potential with Cambridge CEM
Cambridge CEM believes in the power of insight for teachers. We provide computer-based baseline assessments at every stage of the Cambridge Pathway for students aged 3-19 so that you can support all your learners to reach their full potential.
What is baseline assessment, and why is it important?
Baseline assessments give you an objective measure of students’ aptitudes and skills at the point they are tested. Using a good, standardised baseline assessment that is founded on robust research will help you understand students’ knowledge, skills and attitudes, and make the best possible decisions to set realistic and motivational targets and focus on progress.
Cambridge CEM’s baseline assessments cover the skills that are most important for supporting success in all subjects. They are not subject specific, but measure cognitive ability (vocabulary, mathematics and non-verbal skills).
Cambridge CEM baseline assessments help you to:
- understand student potential and progress
- benchmark performance against students of similar abilities
- tailor your teaching and resources
- set realistic, motivational goals for your students
- predict Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge O Level and Cambridge International AS & A Level examination grades.
