Do you think you are ready to start studying Numeracy at Level 1 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 a Level 1 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 3 self assessment.
This assessment is set in the context of working on an allotment- but it is suitable for anyone to try.

To complete this quiz you need to be able to order decimals. Here is an example to help you.
Which is bigger, 0.3 or 0.25?
Ever so many people make the mistake of saying 0.25 is bigger because 25 is bigger than 3. This is very wrong!
Remember the place value of decimals.
0.3 means three tenths.
0.25 means 2 tenths and 5 hundredths.
Three tenths is bigger than 2 tenths, so 0.3 is bigger.

Converting between decimals and fractions
Thanks to John Ford for this quiz.
You need to be able to convert fractions to decimals and decimals to fractions.
To convert a fraction to a decimal divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number).
eg 3/4
3÷4 = 0.75
To change a decimal to a fraction think what place value the number on the right hand side has.
eg 0.45
The 5 is in the hundredths column, so the denominator will be 100.
The numerator is 45
So 0.45 = 45/100
This cancels down as both numbers divide by 5.
45/100 = 9/20
