Я думаю, существует некий стандартизированный экзамен, называемый СЕ (один пример - в файле по ссылке) (если речь идет о США, то у них множество нешкольных экзаменов, проводимых на уровне штата, или экзаменационных материлов, разрабатываемых коммерчески).
Paper в данном случае означает экзамен (экзаменационное задание, экзаменационный материал, экзаменационный билет).
ce style - "школьный" экзамен по образцу и подобию экзамена СЕ.
Что такое 12+ пока непонятно - или на оценку 12+, или на подтверждение, что достигнут образовательный уровень 12 и выше. В любом случае, можно обойти уточнение использованием термина "уровень".

А фраза в целом будет выглядеть так: "группа 1 и 2 будет сдавать экзамен типа СЕ на уровень 12+ летом, а группа 3 ..."

Катя, см. релевантные ссылки на "СЕ". СЕ - это экзамен по иностранному языку (есть китайские примеры в отношении английского, английские примеры в отношении французского). Скорее всего это Certification Exam.

вот описание системы оценивания частной школы
http://www.arnoldhouse.co.uk/index.php/for_pupils/french/sub...
• In addition to the above paper:
All boys in Year 3-5 are examined twice a year in 2 other skills (listening and speaking)
Boys in Year 6 and 7 are examined twice a year in all 4 skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) in tests that reflect the nature of the final CE exam.

• Boys in Year 8 do not sit a “grammar” paper – instead, they sit actual CE exams – the practice exams in November, the mocks in March, the actual listening and speaking CE exams in May and the actual CE reading and writing exams in June.

• The reading and writing exams always take place either with or just before the main school exams in November and June

Думаю, нашла полный ответ. 12+ и 11+ это возрастные группы (в Великобритании дети оцениваются по достижению ими стандартизированной "уровневой" нормы, где уровни связаны с возрастом).

http://www.tuition.com.hk/common-entrance-exam.htm

Common Entrance Exam UK - 11+ and 13+

Over a hundred years ago the first Common Entrance Examination (CEE) took place at preparatory schools across the UK as the independent school sector made moves to standardize the entry requirements for senior schools. Today, approximately 80% of prep. schools put pupils forward for a CE examination (the shortfall exists as many senior schools continue to set their own entrance examinations).

Candidates are entered for the examinations according to age at entry to senior school and these days examination papers are set for entry at the ages of 11+ or 13+ (the 12+ was dropped a number of years ago). The 11+ is usually for entry to Year 7 and the 13+ for entry to Year 9. Again, schools may agree with parents to use one of these examinations for entry to a different year group, or for a pupil who is at a different age. Usually however, candidates who do not fit the standard profile will be asked to sit a different examination of the school’s own devising, and parents will be given details accordingly.
