Skills classified in this paper

Response items mapped to the pinned Trace Learn skill graph. Multi-skill questions split their weight between tags.

Some skill tags are provisional taxonomy classifications

The response-item mapping passed the automated source, coverage, grouping, and confidence checks, but at least one graph skill boundary still awaits specialist review. Provisional rows are labelled below and are never used for rising or falling trend signals.

Easy questions: 4
Medium questions: 3
Hard questions: 0

Paper-level difficulty counts include every classified response item, including creative-writing prompts. Sitting-year difficulty trends compare objective response items only, so those totals use a different, explicitly labelled denominator.

Published skill tags for CEM Shepway Test familiarisation example
Subject	Skill tag	Concept	Classification	Within-subject share	Items carrying tag	Easy / medium / hard weighted items
Maths	Calculate a whole-number operation	Number	Confirmed automated	66.7%	2 of 3	1 / 1 / 0
Maths	Read a bar-chart value	Data handling	Confirmed automated	33.3%	1 of 3	1 / 0 / 0
Verbal reasoning	Select opposite meaning	Vocabulary	Provisional taxonomy	100%	2 of 2	2 / 0 / 0
Non-verbal reasoning	Complete a visual matrix	Visual patterns	Provisional taxonomy	100%	2 of 2	0 / 2 / 0

Classification coverage: 100% across 7 classified response items from 7 detected. Ratios describe classified items only, so any uncovered detected items are not silently treated as another skill. This profile is automated and is not represented as independent human review. Confirmed, provisional taxonomy, and provisional analysis labels show which claims can safely contribute to trend evidence.

Questions families ask

Is this a real CEM (Cambridge University Press & Assessment) paper?

It is a CEM (Cambridge University Press & Assessment) familiarisation booklet, not a live paper. It shows the question styles and answer format rather than the real test.

Are the answers included?

No. No free answer document is linked from folkestonegirls.kent.sch.uk for this paper, so it works best for timing and format practice rather than self-marking.

Where does the download come from?

The PDF is served by folkestonegirls.kent.sch.uk. Trace Learn links to it and does not host a copy. The link was last checked on 28 August 2026 and returned HTTP 200.
