What it is called
The publisher's own site now calls itself Cambridge Insight and says it was formerly CEM. In the publisher’s words: “Cambridge Insight (formerly CEM)”
Its entrance assessment is named Cambridge Select Insight.
The publisher's pages we read do not use the phrase CEM 11+ and do not say Select Insight replaces a test of that name.
Schools we have researched that use it
None yet: no school in our research names it. We list a school here only after reading it on the school’s own pages.
