Interview and numeracy test

I've done the online numeracy test. But when I read about what a Sunderland interview contains, it said they have another in-person numeracy test. Is this true for this year's applicants?

Hi @chaigorr28,
I do not know if it is true or not. It is standard practice for course providers to give a numeracy task on interview day. It is nothing to worry about. If you were to struggle with it, it does not mean necessarily that you will fail your interview. Course providers have a duty to assess applicants/ trainees level of numeracy and if the level of numeracy does not meet the standards expected from a teacher. They will put support in place during your training year to ensure that you reach the required level.
I hope this reassures you.
Good luck with your interview!
