city university literacy and numeracy test

Both maths and english test are multiple choice, and at the end of the English paper, there is a comprehensive task to do where you have one question to answer.

Aptitude test, you have four scenario based questions to answers which is not difficult to do.

For the maths, just revise percentages, add, subtract, multiply, divide, ratio, time, a bit of graphs, fractions, mean etc

Overall, they are not hard. But, the pass rate is really high.

Maths - 39/50

English - 25/30

All the best :smile:

If you're doing Adult Nursing, then you will do the English, Maths and Aptitude Test on the same day. Child Nursing applicants will only do the Maths and English as they will do the Aptitude test another day. ( I think on the day of the interview if they are successful, but they do it online)

Each test is around 30 minutes or more.

The interview is on separate days.

You get so many marks for each question on the maths test. One question might be worth between 1 - 5 marks.

Unfortunately I didn't get through with City, because I made a silly mistake on the maths test that brought me 3 marks short from the pass rate and I was 2 marks off the English test. (I found out on the day of my MDX interview lol)

I'm sure you'll be fine. The questions weren't difficult, but it is so easy to make mistakes. So please read the questions carefully!!!! (That was my downfall)

Good luck and thank you :biggrin:

The maths is always the scary bit, but hopefully you have done enough to get through to the interview stage. Fingers crossed!

I got an offer from MDX and have an interview with Greenwich. Those are the only two uni's I'm looking at atm and deciding which one to firm.

Thank you, and I hope it all works out for you :tongue:
