Testing tip - Increase math

Scores

The math test, also known as the
numeracy test, is used to assess a
person’s ability to perform numerical
computations rapidly and accurately.
The test is six minutes long and
requires candidates to solve a series
of questions manually; calculators
are not allowed. To increase a score
on this test is just a matter of
practice! Have a friend put together a
list of equations for a self test. Do a
six-minute exam and see how many
equations can be solved within that
time limit. Equations should include
addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division.
