Hi I have a question, are the questions given in QTS similar to Australian LANTITE Numeracy test?

[@Gangstagran]

I passed! All because of these videos. Thank you so much! If I could pass, anyone can, believe me!

[@thehiphopillusionistmike-r5216]

Congrats. Math is possibly the most important of skills. Now You now know everything.

[@tazbelle-riche7462]

Congratulations LOTUS CHARM! Thank you, you are very encouraging and all the very best with your future too.

[@NR-jr4sf]

I passed yesterday, thank you so much for your help! And if I can do it, anyone can!

[@wouldyoukindly144]

Thank you so much for these videos. I passed yesterday after failing a couple of weeks ago and I could not have passed without these videos. Don't take this the wrong way but i'm grateful I won't be watching these videos for 2+ hours everyday anymore. Thanks again.

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

Thank you for the feedback Selina, we are pleased you found them useful. Congratulations on passing your test!

[@oliviadiamond3648]

Your video really helped my pass my QTS Numeracy today. I could hear your voice in the test in my head. “We do this by...” Seriously awesome video. You make it so simple. :)

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

Great to know you passed your numeracy skills test and you found our resources useful.

[@lewisprice5427]

Skills test was today. No revision other than watching your videos for 3 hours. They definitely helped and I passed both maths and english. Cheers!!!

[@dkarpenter]

I passed my exam! Thank you so much for your videos, they were a fantastic help! When I first attempted the tests, I was only getting a few questions correct. Thank you so much :)

[@harriets4649]

Last week I came out with a pass in english and a failed numeracy but second attempt after a lot of help from family and your videos I passed, I just wanted to thank you for aiding the opening of doors!

[@enyaalice5744]

For question 5 you can do 320 divided by 4 (32 divided by 4 = 8, add on the 0 = 80) then divide the £1 into 4 = 0.25, then add them together to get £80.25.

[@sparklydiamond]

Thank you for this video. I've just spent the last three hours going over it. My numeracy skills test is next week. I hope I pass!

[@eshakhilochia1447]

Did u pass

[@missamvmaker]

After revising from your videos for 2 weeks I went from a 14% pass mark in maths to passing the whole test! Your literacy video was also super helpful and helped me pass that test also. Thank you so much!

[@chimmainsparkles2860]

Wow!

[@anafleitas2988]

Your videos are just the best ones in this area. All of them. Great job. Congrats and many thanks!!

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

Thanks Ana. We have more resources for both the numeracy and literacy test at QTS Maths Tutor and QTS Literacy Tutor. We wish you luck with your revision.

[@HoneybeeAdventures]

Thank you so much. These resources were not available a few years ago. When I failed the QTS. Admittedly I did no research and now I am prepping. Your videos are so helpful. Thank you

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

Not a problem at all. If you Google QTS Maths Tutor and go to our site you will find help sheets, a free practice test in the same format as the exam and all sorts of resources to help you pass your professional skills tests.

[@HoneybeeAdventures]

QTS Maths Tutor wow thank you

[@AngelaLikesFood]

You have literally saved my life! Thank you so much for this video!

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

We are glad that you are finding the resources useful. Make sure you go to QTS Maths Tutor to see all of our other resources. Good luck with your revision!

[@jemimaatdaisy5706]

literally?

[@KristineDianaTsiknaki]

I passed! Thank you so much, it's all thanks to you!

[@biancabrown5996]

Thanks for these videos i passed today

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

Congratulations and thanks for using the service.

[@timcollins676]

Really enjoyed your video thank you

[@amandaapleni8869]

Writing a test by Wednesday next week. Any update from the previous tests?

[@tabasumnawaz5204]

Hi just inquiring, how many questions do you need to answer correctly or percentage to pass the test. Please can you let me know ASAP. Thank you for the videos

[@333jugs]

This video is great- thank you for taking the time to create and upload. I wonder if the questions are slightly easier than the test itself- or I'm just getting better! I really liked how you explained how dividing by 0.1 is the same as multiplying by 10. Simple now you say it! Thank you

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

Thank you Del Monte. Great to hear you are finding our resources useful. We have an additional 20 tests you can access via the QTS Maths Tutor website as well as topic revision tests and over 650 model solutions! Good luck with your revision!

[@333jugs]

Thanks for your help- I passed the second time around. It was much easier the second time. My advice to anyone is practice, practice practice! Don't rely on one method, use lots of different ways to do it. Get a partner to read you questions. Use videos, get a specific book, use a maths app to learn times tables. You can do this!

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

Congratulations on passing your test. As part of your list of recommended resources should be the QTS Maths Tutor, 21 Numeracy Skills Tests!!!! Our tests are the closest thing available online to the real exam (other than the governments online tests of course). I totally agree with your advice though, practise, practise and more practise! Good luck with your new career.

[@eamoncrosby2368]

Thank you very much this video has been extremely helpful 👌😊

[@skiptontutors5386]

We use all of the QTS Maths Tutors tests with our students as they are updated on a monthly basis and reflect the actual exams better than any of the other practice test providers.

[@irfanchaudhri]

For question 4 you can also find a quarter of 30 (which is 7.5), and round it to the nearest whole number (which is 8). Thats the number of bottles you'll need!

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

Hi Irfan, thank you for your comment. There are multiple methods you can use to answer just about every question in the test, thanks for sharing your method. If you are still in the process of preparing for your numeracy skills test then please make sure you check out our website where there are plenty more resources!

[@nqabisazulu3935]

Are all numeracy skills test, multiple choice questions?

[@MorbidDoll]

lots of the questions you just jump to answers without any working out, for example with the question at 26.10 the sum is 87 divided by 50 and suddenly you get the answer 1,74, how am i supposed to get there without a calculator?

[@nabz7429]

Thank you so much it really helped me with my maths

[@pinamanbrobby6350]

These questions are very good do you know checkpoint?

[@ashasubramaniam112]

Please help- Can we also get a blank paper during the actual test online/paper based to solve the questions first, as I can not do everything in my mind without writing it down.

[@alexrosen8762]

Great stuff

[@mroosie7488]

This is my biggest fear. It’s not that I can’t do them. It’s the time you get to do them. It takes me a bit of time to work out. I’m Not very quick with maths.

[@jakestevenson6388]

I'm in exactly the same boat! Mental arithmetic revision every day for me!

[@Missssssy007]

I want to teach so badly but actually cried when watching this for the first time as it’s soo hard !! I’m so disheartened 😭😭

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

Hi Jasmine, visit our website to get more support with the test. From the most up to date resources to expert tutors we have a team that can help you prepare and pass.

[@Missssssy007]

Thank you! For this part of the exams can u also use the online calculator ?

[@tubefreakmuva]

Veryyyy good. Many thanks for this.

[@moaal1]

Question 12, you could just divide 15/5= 3 TM per minute and divide 60sec/3=20 sec

[@MariaBoun]

Can you please check if you or me have made a mistake in calculations? In 38:55, we know that in Class 1 we have 25 students in total (20% of them sat for Trigonometry), so in Class 1, there are 5 students who sat for Trigonometry. Since 25 people in total sat for the Trigonometry test, we assume that the rest 20 students sat for trigonometry in Class 2. So class 2 has a total of 160 students.

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

Hi Maria the model solution shows the correct answer, 40; however there are a number of methods you can use to get this answer. 5 people sit the Trigonometry test in both classes, there isn't 20 in class 2 as you stated, this is where your calculation went wrong. So if 12.5% is equivalent to 5 people then 1% is 0.4 people so 100% is 40 people. This is just a slightly different way to the model solution, hopefully one of the methods now makes sense.

[@FelixTheForgotten]

What year is this exam questions are used for? They seem so incredibly easy here in Canada.

[@yesyes2833]

Deez Cows Fan lmao I’m taking mines tomorrow? Is it like this?

[@noshi81]

Hi, you suggest to type the numbers into a calculator, but as far as i'm aware you cannot use a calculator, is this not correct?

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

A calculator is allowed for the written data questions, which are the second section of the test. However, the calculator is an onscreen calculator so it is worth getting use to using it as you won't be able to take your own into the testing centre with you.

[@noshi81]

Thank you that’s a really helpful tip ☺️

[@deeh9260]

I passed !!!! Thankyou !

[@JuanLuisBeasPerezdeTudela]

I'm taking the numeracy and literacy skills tests in a few weeks. Are these practices actualized? Thank you in advance for this videos and your dedication.

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

Hi Juan, I am not sure what you mean by actualized but I can say that the videos do cover the content and questions that have regularly appeared in the numeracy skills test. To get more numeracy content please visit QTS Maths Tutor directly and to get literacy content please visit our other service QTS Literacy Tutor. Both sites have a free practice test you can take that replicate the format of the real exam.

[@benmidgeley266]

Very useful thanks for your help

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

Thanks Ben. You can find more resources on our website and if you are preparing for your literacy skills test as well then please visit QTS Literacy Skills Tutor which is the other service we run.

[@IceCreamSubs]

There are two errors on the free practice test! In your video you said that the correct answer to question 24 is B and D but in the correct answers given after the practice test it only says B... Then for question 26 in your video you said the correct answer is A whereas on the website it says it's B... Please sort this out!

[@teos660]

What age is this test made for ?

[@simplesimon7674]

This is all great but I can’t take a pen and paper out in the test centre can I?

[@Runningthroughhistory]

Luckily, you are provided with both.

[@simplesimon7674]

JACW Cymru yes you are right! Absolutely ridiculously easy in comparison to these questions, AND they gave me a full minute instead of 30secs

[@Runningthroughhistory]

@@simplesimon7674 That's great to know! I have my numeracy a week today and I'm nervous as all hell about it.

[@simplesimon7674]

JACW Cymru remember the quickest way of answering the question , and keep trying

[@TheBourdieu]

Well but the second part is good! Thanks.

Thanks So much

[@banaal-khatib2349]

Do I get to solve on an outside paper as such?

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

Hi Bana, most testing centres provide a whiteboard and marker pen for you to use during the test for you to use for your workings out. For all this type of information please visit our site or facebook page where commonly asked questions like this are answered all the time.

[@mandi8153]

You get a whiteboard and marker pen :)

[@LilyJaz83]

Question 20: Why is 100 divided by 2? Is this a formula? I did not understand this :(

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

The median is the value that the person in the middle achieves. With cumulative frequency you can half the total frequency, in this case 50, which tells us the 50th person has the median mark. You then use the curve to see what mark the median person achieved, in this question it was 60. Use the QTS Maths Tutor website for more resources and support.

[@LilyJaz83]

@@qtsmathstutor9925 Thanks a million. Passed my numeracy test yesterday! :)

[@aniajr1629]

Question 11 - what about second part of the question “any two supervisors do not manage...”. Does it not change a number of supervisors - for each 3 supervisors there will be 6 analysts. What mean there is 8 supervisors with team of 6 people and another 16 supervisors without people, so it gives us 24 supervisors and final of 72 people in the office (48analysts + 24supervisors)?? Could you check that for me please?! Thank you

[@omasmaa3291]

They say *any two supervisors do not manage the same analysts* They meant that each one suprvisor look after only one group of analysts not two group.

[@TheBourdieu]

This is ridiculous... you don't have time for all those calculations! It is supposed to me mental maths...

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

Hi, the intention of the video explanations is to carefully go through each step so that every person can understand them. Obviously when putting these steps together in an exam you have to do them at a faster pace. The objective of our explanations isn't to prove the problems can be solved within the 18 second time limit, everyone accepts that this can be done otherwise the DfE wouldn't put them in the test. We want to help people grasp each and every step of every problem and then the speeding up process is done through practising many more questions.

[@qtsmathstutor9925]

Hi Perla, the questions in this video are designed specifically for the numeracy skills test. However I know that occupational tests like the one you have mentioned are based on numerical reasoning questions and will require you to be able to work out percentages, fractions and decimal questions like some of the ones we present in this video.

Well 12 is 30% of 40. Easy. Because 10 is 25 a 1/4 so an extra 5 equals 30. I did em all in my head. How's that.
