More Information
The numeracy assessment score is the weighted average score of two separate assessments. This weighted average score assigns more weight to the assessment that provides more information about candidates' numeracy skills. The assessments are taken from the Gate 2 Predictor Assessment in the Foundational Learning Component. Learn more about the numeracy assessments here.
These assessments are conducted on a computer. Candidates are given a short introduction to using a mouse and computer prior to beginning the assessments.
