Many students read scales incorrectly because they assume each division on the scale is one unit.For instance they would look at this scale and read it as 69 mph as it is one division before 70. This is wrong! Always work out what each division means first. On this speedometer 5 divisions mean 10mph. So each division is 2mph. It is pointing at 68mph.

Do you think you are ready to start studying Numeracy at Entry Level 3 in either Functional Skills or Adult Numeracy? If so have a go at this self assessment. If you get more than 50% right, then you probably should be in an Entry 3 class. This decision will be up to your teacher- this assessment is purely for your own benefit as it would be possible to do it lots of times and learn the answers without learning the maths! If you get a score above 80% you are probably ready to try some practice tests. If you are studying Functional Skills find out which exam board you college uses and visit their website to find some practice tests or past papers. If you score less than 50% don’t despair- try the Entry 2 self assessment.
