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.

The mock question pool should therefore include:

• Whole-number addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
• Decimals and money calculations
• Fractions, percentages, ratios, and unit conversions
• Formula substitution and simple rearranging
• Electrical maths such as Ohm's Law, power, series resistance, and simple

reciprocal work for parallel resistance

Useful example-style prompts from the public SECTT maths pack include:

• Converting a mark such as 27 out of 45 into a percentage
• Finding what percentage 20p is of £5
• Finding the percentage reduction from £12,500 to £9,000
• Using I = V / R with values such as V = 240 and R = 12
• Adding series resistances such as 0.45 + 0.05 + 0.8
• Using P = I^2R when P = 400 and I = 10
• Arithmetic such as 432 + 986 + 218, 6468 / 7, 12.5% of £80,

64% as a fraction, and 5/8 as a percentage
