Brush up on your basic multiplication and Division. I shouldnt have thought it would be any more advanced than GCSE stuff to be honest.
There is a link somewhere to dome goo SDT equations. If your maths is weak, then I guess you have some time to improve it.

[QUOTE]Having passed all three stages and been given my start date for the college I completely agree with the previous two statements. The best thing to do is relax, sleep well, and eat well the day of the testing.
The most studying I did when I was going in for my testing was read the information NATS sent me(several times) and took down some notes on the main things and abbreviations.
Aside from that I got a good nights sleep, a huge breakfast, and went in with a positive attitude.[/QUOTE]
If you have passed all 3 selection tests, you really should have done more background reading. How much maths do you think a controller does when he is controlling?

DIAF - i'm doing basic radar at the moment, i've only just finished 5 weeks of death by powerpoint and started on the sims today. Basic maths required for the college is can you do your 6 times table ? (S/D/T calculations) and also multiply\divide things by 30 ? (Altimetry)
In the sims, only real maths in use at the college is to work out top of descent point and that is a very basic calculation, one of which you soon forget as it beomes second nature when to descend.
