Nursing maths admissions tests!!

Hi guys!
I've applied to cardiff, south wales, nottingham, uwe and kings college. Ive been rejected from uwe and I recently had an interview for kings however I didn't get an offer because my numeracy test wasn't good enough

I was wondering does anyone know anything that I can do to help me more with maths? I revised on the bbc bitesize website and bbc maths skills! Any books recommended thats based on these tests?

ps. has anyone heard anything from cardiff, south wales and nottingham?

My weakest subject is maths and I am applying for Midwifery so I too have to sit a numeracy test. I am aware it's only basic maths but, I haven't studied maths for two years now as I stopped it after gcse so, I have forgotten most things and my mental maths has gone very slow!:P
On the adult nursing section of Coventry University's website under entry requirements there is a practise paper that you can use. I'm going to get my Dad (he's good at maths) to make up some questions that are similar to those but, just different numbers so I can practise.
I think Birmingham City University also has a numeracy practise paper under the adult nursing section.
Just have a look at various university websites and I have been advised by various universities to use gcse Bitesize.

I have applied at the University of Nottingham and just recently been invited to an interview in February!

Hey I have an interview at Nottingham for Midwifery on 17^th Feb!
The layout of the day looks gruelling! Aghhh scared! Hope the science and maths tests aren’t too hard :P

Yeah me too! I can't remember maths at all and at school it was my weakest subject, I'm scared I will fail my interviews because of maths.
Thank you that is helpful my friend is doing midwifery and she got numeracy papers from the Kings College website
Well done! I hope you get in, when did you send your UCAS off? I'm still waiting to hear from Nottingham :/

Same here, I'm scared maths will be the reason I don't get an offer..
Okay thank you I will check them out!
I sent mine off to UCAS on 15th November, you?

Birmingham City, Coventry, Keele, University of Nottingham and University of Worcester. How about you?

I have a numeracy test at my Leeds Metropolitan University interview, I'm not very good at maths so I'm dreading it. Were the questions quite difficult? I have been revising and I've been using mymaths I find that very useful. I have also applied to Nottingham and haven't heard anything.
Good luck! xx

its not difficult but you do need to revise before hand
simple maths really like conversion, ratio, percentage etc

Good luck!!! xx

You're so lucky I want more interviews! I hope you do well!
Same, I like Birmingham City or Sheffield Hallam so it will be between the two. I was really impressed with Birmingham's facilities

hey i have an interview with nottingham on the 18th..I have heard its just a group interview and there are no tests for them

I thought there was tests for every nursing place because the nursing and midwifery council states you need to show basic maths, but if not that's good .
When did you send your UCAS off? good luck aswell!
