Hi, basically we had this talk that lasts for about half an hour. After that the parents are sent to a different room and assessors come in, your names are read out in groups then you go off with which two assessors you have been allocated with. You all go into this room then in your groups you sit around this table and fill in this form. After all that you just start talking about your resource. Make sure you talk about how and why you think it could be used to support learning and not just what the resource is. Also be prepared for questions. Trust me everyone was nervous, it's understandable but everybody there is very nice and supportive. Good luck hope it goes well, let me know how it went! :smile:

Have you got any recommendations on how to revise for the literacy skills test? I've already taken it once passed my maths but failed my English by 2 marks! really want to pass second time but just need some extra tips on what to do to help me thanks.

I've not really done much.. but there is a website that you can register with that has some online practice tests. I found the more I do the better my score. Maybe you could try that? The link is:

Or could you revise the area that you struggle with most? Maybe go on the TES website where they have common spelling mistakes.

I suck at maths, I only just scraped by with my GCSE maths! Have you got any tips on how I can revise for that?
Thank you :')

Thanks. With maths you need to be able to use your timetables, revise percentages and fractions. And then just practice loads of different questions, the more you practice and do different questions the more prepared you will be. Hope that helps
