I have seen a few posts about the numeracy ready package, is it really worth the money? Thinking of getting it but wanted to make sure it was actually worth it 😀

I had an interview there a couple of weeks ago for Secondary Geography. There's a car park in the Education Faculty, but I don't know for certain if interviewees used it (I travelled by train). I'd send them an email the first week of January to double check.

If not it's pretty central, you could probably park in the Prince Bishop's car park, which would be all of a 5 minute walk to the department. Good luck! :smile:

I don't know if this helps but I just bought the 'Achieving QTS: Passing the Numeracy skills test' book from Amazon for like 8 pounds or something and I felt completely prepared for the test and passed no problem (despite my maths being terrible!) So don't feel that you have to fork out on Numeracy Ready, other resources are cheaper and just as useful :smile:

The real bonus for me with Numeracy Ready is the mental arithmetic sections. Reading the questions in a book isn't the same as hearing them read to you by the computer lady. It helps you to practice noting the numbers as she reads them the first time and then start work while the second reading is taking place.

That's the book I used and I passed first time despite being really nervous. :smile:

Only read about 25% on my kindle but it was enough to bring most of it back to me. I'd definitely recommend it if (like me) someone doesn't have enough money to spend on Numeracy Ready.

I agree... but there's practice tests online. I did three of those and that was enough to get used to the format. :smile:

Thank you! I thnink that maybe be the book I have too, with the practice tests in. I'm just worried I'm not going to pass my maths! Maths phobia! X

I think that would be beneficial to me a well actually seeing the methods of working out on the screen!

I have emails offering me places at all three places I applied to, but only one has updated on track so far, and with it being christmas I imagine nothing will update for another week or so. Is anyone else in this position? It seems most unusual to send an offer out but not put it through on Track.
