Hi, Can anyone help? My daughter has an interview next week for a Student Pharmacy Technician vacancy and has been told she must complete a maths test and get at least 70% correct to get through the interview stage. Can anyone give us an idea of what this test is like - sample questions??? Level of difficulty??
Any answers would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Could be an adult numeracy test - google can find you the tests.

Thanks for that but she has been told it is a bit more involved than that - with lots of percentage and fraction calculations. I suggested to my daughter that it may be a basic numeracy test but she is convinced it is a lot more difficult. Has anybody out there actually done one of these tests at an interview for this particular post?
will be looking at drug calculations and dosages, i expect - mainly tablets, liquida and injectable substances - probably not as far as drips etc. google for these as they involve looking at percentages and fractions in the calculations. if she is going for a pharmacy post, she will be dealing with prescriptions and dispensing drugs - no?

Thanks for that
I've used various tests in the past as part of recruitment assessment centres - both Verbal and Numeric Reasoning. If the organisation has any sense, it will have a guideline passmark, but it won't fail a good all round candidate who runs a few marks short.
These tests are designed so that one doesn't need specific knowledge to do them - but require an ability to juggle numbers around in the head. The perceived level of difficulty (by a candidate) depends on one's ability!! Knowing sample questions don't (in my opinion) help get a better score. I used to test myself using the same battery set every 6 months os so and one doesn't 'remember' the answers or the best way to manipulate them to get the answer. But good luck to her.
