Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

All trainee teachers in England and Wales have to sit numeracy and literacy skills tests in order to achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), which permits them to continue or start teaching.

How to Pass the QTS Numeracy and Literacy Skills Tests includes both literacy and numeracy revision and mock tests. The numeracy section begins at a low level and includes a diagnostic test, a maths review, mental and general arithmetic practice, and revision of statistics. It provides the reader with a solid grounding in the skills needed to pass the test, particularly if maths has always been a weak subject or hasn't been revised in years.

The literacy section includes practice material on spelling, punctuation, grammar, and comprehension. It highlights the areas where people commonly have problems and offers easy-to-follow explanations and practice questions with answers.

Online supporting resources for this book include MP3 audio files to test mental arithmetic and sample numeracy tests.
