Product Description
Book Description
How to Pass the QTS National Skills Test consists of diagnostic tests; a maths review; mental arithmetic, general arithmetic and Stats practice, giving candidates all they need to revise for and pass the numeracy part of the test.
Product Description
All trainee teachers in England and Wales have to sit numeracy, literacy and ICT skills tests in order to achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) which permits them to continue or start teaching. This book concentrates on the mathematics part of the test, targeting candidates who feel they have weak numeracy skills.
How to Pass the QTS Numeracy Skills Test starts at a low level and includes a diagnostic test, a maths review, mental and general arithmetic practice, and revision of statistics. It will give you a good grounding in the skills needed to pass the test, particularly if you have had prior lack of success in maths. Each chapter begins with a maths audit so that you can review the exact skills needed for each section of the test. The first chapter teaches quick ways of answering mental arithmetic questions followed by five mock tests. The remaining chapters cover the general arithmetic and statistical skills required for the onscreen questions, followed by two QTS-type tests with worked-through answers.
How to Pass the QTS Numeracy Skills Test will give you more confidence and reduce exam room stress, helping you to avoid last-minute panic and take another step towards achieving Qualified Teacher Status.

Format:Paperback
I haven't had chance to read all of this book yet, but I'm really impressed with it so far. It covers everything you need to know in clearly laid-out sections, so if you want to look up a particular weak spot you'll find it easily. Gives explanations and then mock questions for each section, plus two mock exams at the end (answers to everything provided later, with explanations). I'd really recommend this, whatever level your maths is at - it's great at explaining things from scratch and building confidence or just for refreshing your memory. The tone is just right too - helpful but not patronising!

This book is definitely helping me alot with revising for my QTS Numeracy Test. It covers all areas of what you would be tested on. Would recommend to any Student Teacher looking for a book to help them pass their QTS Test.

Format:Paperback
This aid to passing the QTS test is precisely what you need if you need to prepare. It assumes very little previous knowledge and is absolutely spot on about what you need to know. It is the perfect primer in my view.

Complicated methods
I brought this book in the hope that it would be helpful in passing the numeracy tests. It is NOT helpful, it offers complicated methods which take time to work out! Read more
