Functional Skills Maths Level 1 Pre-Assessment and Exam Package
Why is the pre-assessment necessary and what does it involve?
1. It ensures you are ready for your final exams and will help you avoid paying for resits.
2. You’ll complete a short test that will assess your skill level in each maths topic that will be on the final exam. Your scores will help us find out if you’re ready for your final exams.
If you’re ready for your final exams, you’ll complete the steps below. If you’re not ready for your final tests, one of our maths tutors will recommend a personal learning program. We’ll help you get you ready for the final exams as quickly possible.
3. You’ll be provided with 2 mock tests. You’ll be required to sit these under exam conditions at home. Please don’t cheat! The mock tests will help you become more familiar with the exam style and format and ensure you’re able to complete within the allocated time.
Remember: by cheating, you are only cheating yourself; resits are NOT free!
4. If you’re successful with your mock tests, we will register you for the final test.
5. It may take up to 6 weeks to get your results. We’ll send your E-Certificates by email and post your paper certificates.
6. Remember: should you need to resit any of your exams, you will need to pay the exam fees again! These pre-assessments will help give you the best possible chance at passing your exam first-time and save you time and money in the long run.
