Dear Dshanati

This is a NHS standard requirement in most trusts based on NMC guidelines. Nothing will above KS3 level mathematics. Some trusts allow calculators some trusts don't. There are numerous free mathematic platforms just look for KS3 or below to gain understanding. The NMC has Numeracy education material and example tests. There is even YouTube clips on example tests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lWRvg7S1Bg

Hi, I did mine and it was very easy. All I had to do was sort out these papers that were numbered in order and it was timed. Then there was a typing test where I had to write medical words that were on a sheet of paper onto a table on word. Some words were easy to spell others not but it was a test of speed and accuracy. There was maybe 60 words and I had written 58 down within the 3 minutes.
Finally they gave us a little booklet with questions about:
- what do you think a medical laboratory assistant does? (So make sure you look on the job description before)
- how do you suit this role I.e skills and qualifications
- and there was some questions on infection control and confidentiality

hope this helps and good luck
