 Maths Practice Report: Introduction

About the Maths Practice Test:

This test comprises of 20 questions which increase in difficulty through three different levels: Foundation, Intermediate
and Advanced.

• Foundation Level consists of 5 questions, worth 1 mark each

• Intermediate level consists of 10 questions, worth 2 marks each
• Advanced level consists of 5 questions, worth 5 marks each

This test assesses your ability to apply mathematical knowledge, formulae and calculations. People who perform well on
this test tend to be comfortable working with data.

About the Maths Practice Report:

This report presents:

• Your overall score as a percentage and a sten score.

• Revision Guidance to help you improve your performance.

Percentage Score:
Example Percentage Score
Scale:
The percentage scores show the percentage of questions
you answered correctly throughout the test and within
each sub-section of the test.

Sten Score:
Your overall sten score is presented on a 1-10 scale. The
block colour on the scale represents your sten score and Example scale to present sten score:
the two shaded blocks either side indicate the range your

of individuals who have taken these tests in the past. This is known as a comparison group.

Interpreting Stens:
Sten 1: higher score than about 1% of the comparison group
Sten 2: higher score than about 5% of the comparison group
Sten 3: higher score than about 10% of the comparison group
Sten 4: higher score than about 25% of the comparison group
Sten 5: higher score than about 40% of the comparison group
Sten 6: higher score than about 60% of the comparison group
Sten 7: higher score than about 75% of the comparison group
Sten 8: higher score than about 90% of the comparison group

 Maths Practice Report: Revision Guidance

The revision guidance provided is specific to your results and will highlight areas to focus on to help you to improve your
knowledge and understanding of key mathematical topics.

Distance, speed and time are related using the formula 'distance = speed x time'. By rearranging this formula, the other
two components can be represented as 'speed = distance / time' and 'time = distance / speed'. To make it easier to
remember, imagine the three components are arranged in a triangle, with distance at the top, and speed and time next
to each other underneath. By covering the component you need to calculate, the formula to calculate it becomes
apparent - either multiplying two components next to each other, or dividing when one component is above another.

Always check the units used in a question are compatible with each other, and if not, convert them appropriately to
match. For instance, watch for questions mixing 'miles per hour' with 'kilometres' (e.g. a kilometre is 0.6 miles), or 'miles
per hour' with 'minutes' (e.g. 90 minutes, or 1 hour 30 minutes, is 1.5 hours).

For fuel consumption questions, fuel, rate and time are related using the formula 'fuel = rate x time'. By rearranging this
formula, the other two components can be represented as 'rate = fuel / time' and 'time = fuel / rate'. To make it easier to
remember, imagine the three components are arranged in a triangle, with fuel at the top, and rate and time next to each
other underneath. By covering the component you need to calculate, the formula to calculate it becomes apparent -
either multiplying two components next to each other, or dividing when one component is above another.
