Likely Question Types

The notes suggest preparing for:

  • Mental arithmetic and times-table recall
  • Long addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division without a calculator
  • Decimal and money questions
  • Fraction simplification and fraction operations
  • Percentage conversions and percentage increase or decrease
  • Formula substitution such as I = V / R and P = I^2R
  • Basic problem-solving, careful reading, and technical comprehension

SECTT does not publish the live question bank. The official public material points toward a fast screening test of school-level numeracy plus practical technical comprehension, not a deep wiring-regulations exam.

Official Public Maths Clues

SECTT's `An Introduction to Mathematics` PDF is the strongest public practice source. It is a basic-skills revision pack, says no calculator should be used for the pre-employment assessment, and includes multiple-choice questions in the same broad style this app should practise.

Support Note

If dyslexia, a learning difficulty, or a similar issue applies, the notes recommend raising this early with evidence because SECTT says assessment support can be arranged.
