Hullo.

As some of you might have gathered I've got my BA apps in June and have just realised I have the mathematical skills of a tortoise.

I managed to get my hands on one book - ('How to pass numeracy tests' by Tolley and Thomas) but I've long since gone over every single question and need some new material. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Obviously I'm looking for a book that has the problem-type questions that BA use.

Thanks a bunch,

:) BAW22 :)

See my post for books of apptitudes and psychometric tests. Some have responded with the best books to look at. I'm wating for more options before I make my purchase.

Good luck with the tests. Let me know the result and the books you find useful.

The best way to improve numeracy is to continually practice. Use test questions and books by all means, but try to pratice with daily tasks when in the past you would not have bothered. e.g. how litres of fuel is going in for you £40 etc.
