I know this a fear amongst prospective students, but can any one advise me on what the maths exams entail and can you use a calculator in the exams?!
I am starting a part time nursing degree in September and I consider my maths to be OK, everyday maths like Basic maths I can do. But since I have had my offer, I have been scrubbing up on maths and it’s becoming apparent that I need to study more. My mental arithmetic is terrible! Percentages/ long divisions/ multiplication with decimals I’m really struggling to do without a calculator. Ive been practicing with Q&A’s and with a calculator I get it right so I know the process the maths I just cant do it mentally!
Ive been a HCA for many years, I know I can do it, vocationally and the written assessments/ assignments and placements but I really am dreading the maths. So much I’m considering withdrawing.
If there exams are calculator Im pretty confident!!
I will be a mature student at USW!
Any feedback welcome !
