Equivalency Test Maths GCSE at Manchester Metropolitan, advice please!

Hi
Has anybody taken the Maths GCSE Equivalency test at MMU? Any help would be appreciate it. I have to take it soon and I am terrified.
thanks

HI Snowdon, I am taking that test at the end of August this year, how did it go? do you recall anything? do you have a past paper? I would really appreciate it

Hi
I don't have past papers sorry. They don't give any
I can't remember what was on the test because its been a year but, it was a lot easier than the gcse. I just bought some revision books on ebay . Practice with the aqa old foundation papers.
Good luck

It’s actually edexcel when I got my certificate it said equivalent to edexcel gcse foundation. They send you past papers and a list to revise. You just need to email them now for the information with what exam and which tier and they will send you a load of emails with the option of either 12 week course or purely the exam. They give you a list of what to revise. Corbett maths is great for watching videos on everything that’s how I learnt it all. Maybe it’s changed since above person mentioned but they send 4 past papers in an email so you can practice. It is a lot lot easier than gcse, although you still need to revise ! I did mine last week then got my certificate through 4/5 days later

Great Stuff Riddinghing95!! Thank you very much!! I really appreciate it!! I'll let you know guys!! I am sitting the exam on the 28th of August!!

Did you email them? Have you revised for it yet?

I'll do it tonight! Im still at work!! oops!

sorry to make sure: I need to email EDEXCEL for the GCSE Foundation.

Sorry did you do the English one as well? I have this exam on a week
Saturday.

I have just started revising Maths.

Thanks!!

Noooo, you need to email the company equivalency testing. Ignore the edexcel bit I was just telling someone else as they said aqa but my certificate said equivalent to edexcel that’s all. Don’t even worry about that bit! If you go on the website equivalency testing . Com. You should find on there the instructions . It will tel you to email them which subject you require I should think. The email will be [email protected]. Just look at their website first, then you will get a load of emails telling you which centre to contact ie which uni the exam will be at, dates and instructions and a list of what to revise. I didn’t do English sorry just maths. If you don’t understand anything just message me again.

Thank you very much!! what I would do without you!! I'll check the webpage now, thanks again, much appreciate it!!

Hi
I am talking about the equivalency test with MMU not equivalency test company (equivalencytesting.com or others).
MMU don't send any materials but its quite easy to pass and a lot cheaper than those companies that they charge about 200 pounds and MMU 50. Have you booked them through the uni directly?
It's AQA they do and not EDEXCEL. Email them. they will confirm.
thanks

Haha no problem!!! It will tell you on an email that you can’t register until a few days before the exam. Once you have that’s when they send some example papers out. Are you doing foundation? Must say tho, they were a bit crap at confirming my place on the exam so I called them as I never got the confirmation email. But that’s just my luck with things really lol. Hopefully u will sort it out and get the emails from them today if not Monday dunno if it’s automatic or they send them themselves x[/Q


Oh! No! I'm not the only one with obstacles all the time!!

I have been offered a place in MMU for a PGCE with the condition I pass the equivalency tests, English & Maths and the skills tests. I have booked the exams via the university web page. I had only confirmation of the English one, Sat 28th. I thought I would get the confirmation for the Maths closer to the date, 29th August. I'll keep an eye on that, thanks for the tip!

I have already received a Maths information pack from the equivalency testing ( yes! automated response), hopefully I'll get the English soon. Fingers crossed!!

I'll keep you posted it with any developments!!

Did you do a PGCE?

Thank you Snowdon! yes I have booked through MMU directly. I just wanted the syllabus to prepare. Ans I haven't paid anything. They did'nt charge

Hi - anyway you can help me? I've got my equivalency Maths booked for 29th at MMU too. The admissions dept have been pretty awful and have repeatedly failed to send me the link to the past papers and information. Spoke to them 3 times on Friday but they still didn't send me the email they said they would - and now it's bank holiday weekend...I can get papers on the AQA website but should I be focussing on the Foundation or Higher tier? Is there anyway you could forward on the link they sent to you? That would be amazing.Thanks so much for your help
