Foundation engineering maths test?
Hi all,
So I've been asked by the Foundation Studies department to arrange a small maths test of 4 questions with them. They said it consists of 1 lateral thinking question, 2 algebra questions and 1 definition question. I was just wondering if anyone else had sat this and how they found it? I'm a little confused about what they might ask me to define!

If it's anything like the test they sometimes give applicants, I would suggest going over the following:
I never actually took a test so that list is purely based on what I was told to prepare for the interview and what they expected us to know once we actually started the foundation year.
•
S.I. Units (converting between them etc.)
•
Basic Algebra (rearranging equations etc.)
•
Scientific Notation (writing numbers to powers of 10)
•
Areas and Volumes of Basic Shapes (circle, sphere, cylinder etc.)
