I need to prepare for the assessment/interview.
Thank you!
Hi @vokeudom
1. NHS Numeracy Assessment
The numeracy test typically focuses on basic arithmetic, percentages, ratios, and interpreting data from charts or graphs. Here are some common types of questions:
•
Basic Arithmetic: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
•
Example: Calculate the total number of hours worked in a week if someone works 8 hours a day for 5 days.
•
Percentages: Working out percentages, percentage increase/decrease, and converting between percentages, fractions, and decimals.
•
Example: If a medication dosage needs to be reduced by 15%, and the original dose is 200mg, what is the new dose?
•
Ratios and Proportions: Mixing solutions, dividing quantities, and scaling.
•
Example: If a recipe requires 2 parts saline to 5 parts water, how much saline is needed for 500ml of the solution?
•
Data Interpretation: Reading graphs, tables, and charts to extract relevant information.
•
Example: A bar chart shows the number of patients admitted to different wards. How many patients were admitted in total?
The literacy test typically involves reading comprehension, grammar, spelling, and sometimes writing short responses or summarizing information. Here’s what to expect:
•
Reading Comprehension: Understanding passages and answering questions based on the text.
•
Example: Read a short article on a healthcare topic and answer questions about the main idea, key details, or the author’s purpose.
•
Grammar and Spelling: Correcting sentences, identifying errors, or filling in the blanks with the correct word.
•
Example: Choose the correct word to complete the sentence: "The patient ____ (is/are) waiting in the lobby."
•
Writing: You might be asked to write a brief essay or a response to a prompt related to healthcare scenarios.
•
Example: Write a short paragraph about the importance of communication in patient care.
Good luck with your preparation and interview!
