You will improve your chances of a first time pass by 74% if you take a tutor supported mock exam with feedback.  The cost of this is £49 and we advise all learners to take a mock exam.

The Functional Skills Maths Level 2 exam is 2 hours:

• 30 minutes for the Functional Skills non-calculator questions 
• 1 hour and 30 minutes for questions where you’re allowed to use a calculator.

Our Functional Skills Maths exam is an online exam. We're unable to offer remote paper-based Functional Skills Maths exams.

Registration takes 5 working days. This means, subject to availability, you can take your exam within a week of purchase.

A week before the exam, we will contact you again to provide you with some mock preparation techniques and exam specifications/rules. This will enable you to fully prepare for the exam.

The day before the exam, we will email you a reminder of the time and information relating to the software you need to download. We will also take this opportunity to wish you luck!
On the day of your exam, you will be sent a link to a video call by one of our Ofqual-approved invigilators who will assist you in setting up your exam.

We'll give you a choice of examining bodies. Do you need your certificate urgently? We'll recommend the examining body with the quickest turnaround for exam results.

Indicative pass marks are an indication of what the pass mark will be. Please see the table below for indicative pass marks for each course.

It usually takes up to 2 weeks but is often much quicker. 

It can be longer if the awarding body reviews your exam marking or they’re in the process of adjusting their grade boundaries.

If you need your results quickly, we can provide an e-certificate while your certificates are in the post.

Functional Skills Maths resits are £175 per exam.
