Hello!

As some of you know I am starting my PGCE in Secondary Education this September!

Yay! Woo! Hurrah!

Part of my application I have to do a Professional Skills test in English and Maths!

I have done mock tests and passed - however I really want to do well (and not bum around like I did with my degree..)

So has anyone done this? Any tips or advice?

Annoyingly there are only 2 practise papers available online so if anyone could recommend any other resources I would be very very grateful!

Thank you xxx

Hi

I did it few years ago now (you could resit if you didn't get it first time) there was IT as well as I remember, it was multiple choice for the IT and English however the mths was a poo bag because it was timed you wore earphones to listen to the questions first timei didn't do it in the time allowed second time I took a note pad to write questions down because I found as I was working out the answers I'd miss the next question!
There was different centres to go to first time I went to Walsall and computers crashed, waste of journey, so they invited us back next day and same thing happened, so I rebooked and went to keele.
I did try the practice papers online, if you can do those you'll be fine!

Hi my daughter is selling the maths and English qts passing the skills tests books. She paid £30 but will accept £15 for both. They are literally brand new and she passed first time. They are highly recommended

Hi @Diane

Thank you for thinking of me!

I passed my Literacy exam the other day first time woop!

I have my maths next week - I don't live in Stafford anymore so by the time I get to you my exam would have been and gone!

Thank you anyway! I'm sure you'll have luck selling in on ebay etc!
