Stage 2 computer tests

Miningcat,

There's little you can really do to prepare for the computer tests, except probably to remember Mr. Mannering - Dont Panic!

There are three basic elements to the test:

Checking your ability to remember instructions whilst sorting data, your ability to multi-task (which involves preventing numbers colliding with each other while doing maths sums), and spacial reasoning skills.

If you answer something wrong, don't dwell on it, otherwise you'll not be concentrating on the next question, but at the same time learn from the mistake.

That said, it's easier to say than it is to do on the day. As you'll see from posts here, alot of people come out of the tests thinking they have not done well. I did them when I was 19 and thought they had not gone too bad - I failed that time. I did them just before Christmas, aged (alot) older, and thought I'd blown it - I passed and have stage 3 in two weeks.

Enjoy it, and if you don't make it this year, dont give up.
