All trainee teachers in England and Wales have to sit numeracy and
literacy skills tests in order to achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
which permits them to continue or start teaching. How to Pass the QTS
Numeracy and Literary Skills Tests includes both literacy and numeracy
revision and mock tests. The numeracy section starts at a low level and
includes a diagnostic test, a maths review, mental and general
arithmetic practice, and revision of statistics. It gives the reader a
good grounding in the skills needed to pass the test, particularly if
maths has always been a weak subject or hasn't been revised in years.
The literacy section includes practice material on spelling,
punctuation, grammar and comprehension. It highlights the areas where
people commonly have problems, and provides easy to follow explanations
and practice questions and answers.
Online supporting resources for this book include MP3 audio files to
test mental arithmetics and sample numeracy tests.
