QTS Maths Test 02 (Calculator Section) - Complete Solutions

[@ThhhhhBe]

Anybody revising for the skills tests I thoroughly recommend watching these videos which Andy has produced. Makes complete sense and helped me pass first time today ☺️

[@srafiq5497]

I can't believe I actually enjoyed these maths videos!! Andy - you make maths fun by removing the fear - MANY THANKS!

[@nawaratkukkikwichitsin195]

I usually never comment on KZbin, but I have to say thank you for making these videos. They are very helpful and helped me pass my test the first time! I was so nervous at first because maths is not my thing at all (I want to teach English) but after studying these videos and practicing, I was able to complete the questions in time and felt more confident. So to whoever is panicking right now, calm down. You will pass. Just study these videos and practice!

[@amandabottomley6321]

Hi Andy, I just wanted to say that you have helped me enormously over the last two weeks and I passed my skills test today first time today. I bought books and found they just didn't explain things and I found myself doing the practice tests on one screen with your you tube explanations open on another tab. When I got stuck I just toggled to you and waited for you to talk me through it. I am amazed that I passed as I find working under pressure extremely difficult. Your metal maths methods and explanation of graphs and statistics got me through. Thank you sooo much, you are making a difference to so many peoples lives. Shame you don't do Literacy tutorials too as I have that next week!!!! Thanks again. You're amazing. x

[@renaosei2367]

Thank you Andy. I passed my test yesterday the first time. I am hopeless when it comes to math. I came across your videos that also led me to your website. I could not have done this without you. God bless you

[@seancorrigan9880]

Test this Friday - my last condition to fulfil so i can start my PGCE this Sept. These videos have all been so useful. Thanks very, very much!

[@msjamaica978]

Hi Andrew, I just would like to say a great big thank you for these videos. I was absolutely freaking out over my numeracy test, so much so i've put it off very last minute and I have just started revising and contemplating taking a year out. Watching your tutorials, have made me feel confident, like I can do this - i hope. Thanks Abbey

[@chaneesachalmers2377]

Just passed my numeracy today, this was my second attempt! These videos really did help me, so THANK YOU!! I can finally enrol at Institute of Education

[@ahmedsyed1651]

Brilliant. Thank a ton. Just passed my test. I dedicate this one to your preparation material.. Very useful :) Thanks

[@MissShana2011]

Andy thank you soooooo much for making these genuine videos. I passed my test today after watching ALL of your mental and calculator videos religiously 😆

[@Ceevee22]

These videos are the best! Helped me pass first time! I was recommended from my friend and we both had the same result!

[@rumab9687]

Thank you for so much for these videos Andy, really really helpful! You explain things really clearly and you're very calming to listen to especially since I've been a bundle of nerves trying to revise for this test!

[@ganumerical1914]

Keeping calm is an important factor in passing this test. Keep up the practice and I wish you well. For extra questions consider trying our e-learning site campus.educadium.com/gastatistical/

[@donturjawhurt]

Just passed my tests!! Thanks so much! Definitely down to your videos!! :)

[@kryssyfabulous8548]

Thank you so much all your videos were really helpful👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@bethfrost1078]

Just wanted to say a huge thankyou! I have just found out I passed my maths skills test and it's all thanks to you!!!

[@ganumerical1914]

Fantastic! Spread the word - can you believe some people are still paying for solutions to these practice tests!!!

[@sumeiyaaden8190]

PASSED MY TEST THIS WEEK AND I COUDLNT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU, HONESTLY

[@MMcumbria]

...I love you. Thank you so much for doing these videos!

[@fumaninjaknownoequal]

Thanks Andrew, passed in no small part due to your tutorials.

[@rapado10908]

i passed today thank you.your videos really helped

[@Salmkhan]

Thank-you for all your help.... I passed today!

[@marthao1290]

Thanks Andrew, these are very helpful videos. I am feeling very confident about my numeracy test on Sat. I failed the first time so wish me luck

[@hamdisufi6231]

Thankyou for this video and all your other videos! Extremely helpful! :)

[@callumbannister8833]

For the parents evening question it's quicker to do: (total length of time needed - time spent on first evening) + to start time of second evening

[@fl12396]

Thank you so much for uploading this video. I am feeling a lot better with the numeracy test :D.

[@rapado10908]

Thank you So much.your videos have been very helpful. I find I can answer a majority with added time.

[@DreamCarGarage1]

Thanks a lot! I struggle with the graphs so this has been extremely helpful. I'll let you know how I got on.

[@ganumerical1914]

Thanks so much, glad to hear it! Feel free to forward on to friends and teachers to use.

[@dillz8208]

Amazing thank you for helping me through. Fingers crossed l pass

*PASSED MY NUMERACY SKILLS TEST TODAY*

[@Naive991]

Hi Andrew I'm bit confused about the question where the teacher had to fit all the appointment slots, i think its question 7 or 8, i understand all the steps you did to work out the answer but i feel there is so much to remember in that question. For the first day the teacher took 130 minutes to fill all the appointments and if we convert 130 minutes to hours, that's 2:10 minutes and we can simply add that to our starting time rather than all the steps that you done? Because if we add 2:10 minutes to our starting time which is 16:30 we still get the same answer which is 18:40. So isn't this an easier method.

[@TheGanjaification]

You are a mathematics God.

[@elmirach4706]

I am a bit confused about question at 7:25. Why d you divide 24/210 and not 34/210? Also 21:43 it asks for 10 percentage points more, which I assumes 10% more, so why B,E,G are not correct answers?

[@bethmckenna5549]

Literally been years since you posted this and I’m using them to help me with my test which is coming up in a couple of days. I’m just slightly concerned that it is still the same practice tests that are being provided after five years... do they still match the actual tests? 😬

[@khadejabibi1802]

Beth McKenna me to

[@ganumerical1914]

Well done, happy to hear that. Spread the word :-)

[@bahmakmak55555555555]

Question 9: Why in the first statement did you look at the mode and the second statement the range and then back to the mode in statement 3?

[@luiscastro1630]

Hi there, in question 9, a) you took the mode as your max. but if you look at the median, then we should assume some people got less than 72% since the median is 50% - same logic for c) - please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks a lot

[@ganumerical1914]

Thanks and well done!

[@ganumerical1914]

Glad to be of help :-)

[@aidulle]

hello. Just wondering, what happens if in Q9 we say, for example, that 72 (the mode) is not the highest mark? What if it is 60? Then take away range and it equals 10. So maybe 1 statement could be true?

[@ganumerical1914]

Hi, statement 1 of calculator section Q14 is not true as the percentage increase is 200%, not 50%. Remember in the questions where there are three statements you need to get all three correct to obtain the one mark available. How did your test go today?

[@EllaMarie2]

how long do you get for the calculator part of the test?

[@lucijecurri7423]

In the test 02 Q8 Why you did it so difficult and round like Magellan . 240 +40=280 mins, means 4 hours 40 mins. first evening 2:30 mins and second evening 2:10 mins So 16:30+2:10= 16:40

[@lucijecurri7423]

18;40

[@ganumerical1914]

Hi Philippa, for now the pass mark is 18/28 but it is likely to increase to 19/28 from September 1st 2013. Nothing is confirmed yet however.

[@ganumerical1914]

Hope you smash the test on Friday Sean! Post back and let me know how you get on.

[@ganumerical1914]

Hi, We are told the mode is 72 so cant use any value lower than this to be the max. It could be higher though, anywhere from 72 to 100. If the max mark was 75 then subtracting the range of 60 gives a min possible mark of 15 and thus no pupils scored less than 12. So whatever value the max value takes subtracting the range of 60 still gives a value of 12 or higher so the statement must be false. Hopefully that makes some sense! It’s a pathetic question though so don’t worry too much about it.

[@pemillsy]

Is the pass mark still 18/28? Btw these videos have been so helpful, and the mental test ones as well :)

[@safirem9705]

Hi Andrew, stupid question....in the mental arithmetic section can I jot things down?

[@ganumerical1914]

Hi, yes you are given pen and paper to make notes for use in both parts of the test. Make sure and ask for extra paper before you begin as there is no time to wait for them to give you more during the test.

[@safirem9705]

Hi Andrew, I had my test on Saturday thought I was prepared but didn't pass. Any tips on how to increase my mental maths calculations, and question interpretation? (comprehension) I aim committed to passing this next time and have a whole week to prepare. I would be grateful for any and all suggestions and advice (but that does not cost me :))

[@khadejabibi1802]

Doing my maths skill test in two weeks time I just wanted to know if the vedios are outdated since the 2018 test may have come up with different types of questions compared to the above.? Thanks

[@ganumerical1914]

Khadeja Bibi you would think so but question content has changed little since 2011. Let us know how your real test compares. Good luck

[@khadejabibi1802]

GA Numerical I just sat my first maths skill test but sadly failed. Although I found your videos extremely helpful and gave me the confidence to face the exams. I found that the questions where very much different to the above. I feel as though they have introduced new styles of questions this year.

[@khadejabibi1802]

Hopefully I pass my retakes in two weeks time.

[@frixosfriedman7813]

I'm confused. Why for question 9, is the mode 72%, necessarily the highest possible value? A pupil could have got 71%. If subtract the range from that it's 11%, therefore some pupils could have achieved less than 12%??

[@bahmakmak55555555555]

has this increase been confirmed yet? (I'll be re-sitting it in Oct')

[@zaynab1801]

The clock questions are SO annoying! (But are explained very well)

[@Unintelligentful]

The Brussles to Ostend question is simpler, if you do this 5m =8km 50mph = 80kmph 120km distance 80km = 1hour / 40km = 30mins 80km +40km = 120km --- 1Hr 30mins.

[@laurasweetangel]

+James I did this too!

[@Unintelligentful]

***** Good luck if you're about to take yours. I passed mine. I'd make sure you have percentages down as mine contained a lot of those! x

[@laurasweetangel]

+James thanks! On the 29th, really worried about passing the maths as it's not my strong suit. Luckily percentages is, it's using tables and graphs that I tend to lose a lot of marks on! Well done for passing yours :)

[@bencrushcov5690]

Good video, but you've answered question 4 incorrectly (the total of the second column is 49 not 44, so the overall percentage is 23% to the nearest whole number).

[@clarah2139]

I have mine tomorrow ahhh so nervous

[@warrendale1990]

Got my third attempt today at mine already failed it twice unfortunately

[@ganumerical1914]

Good luck! If you miss a few dont panic, take a breath and move on. Some questions are much easier than others so make sure to try all of them

[@ganumerical1914]

HA! me too :-)

[@zaynab1801]

A lot of “imagining” has to go on in question 9. Nonsense question!!

[@zali2615]

absolutely none of the came up in exam. none. i had to improvise at the most and failed by 2 marks. disgusting. people don't hope this is coming up. real exam are lot harder.

[@Smileygalneversmiles]

I thought these were the most recent ones :( did you do it again, babe?

[@AH-yy4zd]

whats the pass mark? lol
