I have an initial assessment with a training provider tomorrow, what do I need to prepare for?

[Bonkss]

Hi, I am 18 years old and have an initial assessment with a training provider tomorrow, I am very nervous because it is based on English and maths and if I fail I won’t have an opportunity to have an interview with my chosen company so I have to pass, has any of the older electricians or even those who have done an initial assessment have anything to say about it?

It’s a little late to revise basic maths if your test is tomorrow

I already revised, my English and my maths but, I just want to know how the paper is styled, I want to know how the questions are asked just to be 100% prepared

Don't fret about it, the training provider is responsible for ensuring you are trained sufficiently to pass any assessment they set, if this is not the case then it indicates you have been inadequately trained by them and the curriculum is not sufficiently robust enough, so the onus is on them as well as you.

Thanks for the advice, it’s just that we have to answer 60 questions in 1 hour. I got at it 3:00pm good luck to myself

Only real advise is, if you get stuck on a question move on to the next question and come back to that one at the end, make a note of the one you skipped so you can get back to it without endlessly searching. Good Luck.

I did it, I’m not sure if it went bad they said they’ll tell me my results in a few days, but I got to have a look at my overall results it was in percentages and I don’t think I did well I got 50-55% out of 100% which is half the exam but, not sure if it’s enough, I hope I did well. They said if I don’t pass I’ll be invited in to discuss alternative options.

I think I got on ok, thanks for the support
