I had mine in jan. They're not difficult. It's a booklet with simple number and word application then near the end they start to get a bit more tricky. But don't worry. Just know your basic maths. Charts etc x

Hey, my test was yesterday, i accidentally typed 16 instead of 11 😬 and omg the test! I had already printed it off the internet and practised the two booklets and marked them with an answer sheet so i basically just had to do that again at De Montfort. So it was basically really easy! Thanks for your advise x

I believe I've done pretty well on the English booklet because looking back at the answers i think ive just got 1 wrong. And on the Maths one ive had a few (i think 4/5 wrong) 😬 fingers crossed. Hopefully i pass and get called for an interview. How was your interview? What did they ask you? And did you likr the university?

Yeah that's what I've been doing.. Because I can't find any directly from the uni.. Good luck on your test tho
Its not like any other uni I've been to in regards to testing. It is 2 blooklets one maths, one english. The maths is basic maths. Know your +×÷-/ percentages/ conversions/ graphs etc.
Then the English is knowing your grammar. Know where full stops/ commas etc should be. Both booklets have a variety of things in them but it doesn't go above gcse level.

Thanks for the reply, i thought the test had about 30 questions, I was fine with the english but ran out of time with the maths so think i may have flopped it x x
