The Written Section
The written section of the numeracy skills test is less about the time constraints like the mental arithmetic section and more about topic knowledge. There are plenty of GCSE Maths topics that appear in the numeracy skills test and it is all about knowing the relevant topics inside out. Many of the questions centre around being able to answer data questions and analyse graphs. The key topics to learn for the written section of the numeracy skills test are as follows:
• Fractions
• Decimals
• Percentages
• Ratio and proportion
• Cumulative Frequency Curves
• Box Plots
• Pie charts
• Averages
• Speed, distance and time
• Two way graphs
