Contrary to a self-appointed omniscient further above, the maths can catch you out no matter who you are, what you have done or what you have studied previously. People with engineering / science degrees from a good red-brick uni who have failed the maths test because they didn't do much prep for it as they regarded themselves as having a solid mathematical background! Some basic practice with pen and paper is all that is required to get your brain up to speed with doing mental arithmetic again. It used to be that you could fail the maths test first time and re-do it at a later stage...now they have scrapped phase 4 and combined phases 2 and 3, when else can you re-do the maths, if at all? As for the rest...it's been done to death every time a new post appears on this thread - unfortunately, we (collectively) have to put up with it until he deems it suitable for us to continue our training plans again...
