If you are worried about passing the ICT skills test - this is the book for you. Although I felt relatively confident about email and word processing, I wasn't so sure about spreadsheets and databases. This little book really helped build my confidence in these areas as it covers all the essential knowledge you need to pass the test. It also lets you know exactly what to expect in the test and contains a detailed checklist to tick off the skills as you learn them. When you've ticked all the boxes on the list - you know you are ready for the test. This really boosts your confidence.

I've just passed all three of the QTS skills tests today, and I know Iwould not have been able to do the ICT test without this little book. Ithas all you need to know, and is very accessible. The book explains thebasics you will need to know, providing many examples and practicequestions. Highly recommended for any trainee teacher as the book willreinforce your existing skills and help you to gain new ones, giving youthe confidence to take, and pass, the QTS skills tests.

From April 2012 the ICT skills test will no longer be required to acheive QTS according to the TDA. That means if you are currently training to be a teacher aiming to qualify after this date you will no longer need to pass this test. You can as I write still take the test but just for kicks now.
