Thank you immensely for these videos. I failed my maths test several times when revising from the books and upon discovering these videos I finally passed yesterday! Keep it up, many people benefit from having things visually explained. If i can pass the maths test anyone can!
Amelia welldone for passing, was just wondering did you find the test easier than the ones on the gov website? & were there similar questions as some people are saying the gov ones are v outdated which has scared me !!!
Hi Andy, I would like to thank you for your videos focusing on the numeracy skills test. After a solid fortnight of revision (mainly referring to your videos for guidance) I passed first time today! 😊
These videos are such a good help! I'm booking my test soon and these videos are really getting me through. They are really informative, and you're actually really easy to listen to, some other videos are a little harder to follow but these are all great!
I just sat my QTS and although it was harder than I was even anticipating, these videos helped massively. Thank you for creating such helpful and well presented content!
Your videos are really helping me right now as I’m studying towards taking the test, although it’s taking me ages to get my head around it, but I’ll keep ploughing through, thank you!
I have just passed my numeracy skills test and I can say that your videos are the reason why, they helped so much. Thank you so much!! Please continue your content as it’s really helped! There were a few questions about radius on the test, it may be good if you did some videos on that
I'm doing these stupid tests this year. I'm not even going to teach maths. And next year they're scrapping these tests anyway. Completely pointless and ridiculous.
Thanks for this, really dreading these questions but now hopefully I can remember these. tricks. Can you do a video on conversions when they say things like 'If i take 5miles equal to 8km' and then they use time within the question too.. they're multistep/conversation and hard!
glad you found this useful. the most stupid question on the test. regarding conversions and time i have other vids on this in the solutions to dfe tests
Hi there. Regarding statement 2, here's a counterexample. For this series: 34, 45, 45, 55, 56, 57, 60, range = 26, mode = 45, median = 55. With this series, you couldn't say that at least one pupil got more than 70. What is the relationship between the mode and the range? Thanks!
+upsadaisy11, you are right. Nothing stops you to choose a minimum value smaller than 45. That method works only for the third statement when the minimum cannot be lower than 0. Good job spotting it!!!
Surely if you take the median and subtract/add half of the range, that would give you the same result? That's how I worked it out in the practice test and I think it was okay. Correct me if I'm wrong!
Bethany Griffiths alas if only it were that simple 😀. The median is the middle value but is not fixed to be midway between the min and max. In short, you got lucky!
I passed today, I think barely. I really sweated it. I think I passed largely due to youtube videos and also the mock tests on the government site. sta.education.gov.uk/ One thing to be aware of, you should practice listening for the mental arithemetic section. I thought they put the whole text of the question up on the screen, they don't and there was at least one question where the answer hung off a particular word. Basically practice listening!
For statement C 75 is the range so maximum value should be at least 75 .....so the statement is false at least one pupil would have scored 75 or above for the range to be 75....

Andy straight up putting the blast on Median Mode & Range - "Pathetic" "Stupid" "Mumbo Jumbo" #realtalk

"because really, life's too short to understand this stupid question"... you made my day with that one. I can sense the frustration!
Bro, God sends some people to Earth with beneficial talents in order to help others and guide them. You are one of those! Thank you!
Andy! Your videos are amazing. I've watched nearly all of them and have created a revision routine with them. Feel much more confident, thank you 😊

Just want to say a massive thank you! Your videos helped me to pass my numeracy test today first time, couldn't have done it without them!

Donna Thacker keep at it! You will get there 😁

Sinead Taker Hi was your test harder than the gov practice ones? I’m really worried about my maths test
I PASSED TODAY! :) Thank you so much for your videos, couldn't have done it without you!!
I wish you could read the questions for the test, your voice is so calming! Thanks for all your help, I would be in trouble otherwise
Thanks so much for all your videos Andy, they really do help! :)
You are truly God sent! Thank you so much for these videos!!!
passed my numeracy today!!!! all thanks to you.Wish you could do the literacy one too

Thank you for this. I highly disliked this question at first but I am confident now that if it comes up in the real test I can answer it correctly. :D
thats great, im really pleased about that ☺

Ah yes I see, thank you!
I can't find ticket for the workshop in west London on Saturday
Hi, on number 3 when you took the absolute minimum as zero because the answer was above 100, is that a rule?
Please answer, thanks
