Maths equivalency exam

[CelieandNettie]

Morning , has anyone sat a maths equivalency exam ? Im doing mine on Monday with an online equivalency company .

There is NOTHING online about past equivalency exam papers or anyone taking about taking it so I'm hoping there's one of you that has sat one and can give me a bit of a clue as to what will be in it ?

Not sat an exam for 30 years so feeling nervous .... TIA

Would this help?

I'd expect at least:

• basic numeracy
• fractions
• conversions of units (eg m to mm, or km/hr to m/s)
• percentages
• ratios
• word based problems

Thank you. I have practice papers they've sent me but I'm not sure if they are going to be like the W tusk exam.

I've looked on student forums but it seems no one is allowed to talk about past exams !!

W tusk exam ?? Assume it is a typo but not certain what for.

Surely the point of practice papers is to be like the real exam?

Sorry yes def typo !! I meant ...
trying to find out if the practice papers are like the actual exam ...

Easier / harder etc ?

Must be someone in the land of Mumsnet who has actually sat one !

Just a bump for anyone interested !

Exam done - results Wednesday . Was no harder than the practice papers but feel my nerves may have got the better of me

Oh good.
At least if your nerves mean you don't pass, you'll know for next time that it will be a similar standard.

Only went and passed it ! Waited 34 years to get a maths qualification!

Congratulations OP 👏

Well done
