Maths test prep
I used the following site www.bbc.co.uk/skillswise/
Also, do a google search to help find other tests with ratios, fractions, long division etc (I had to re-learn long division!!)
Apparently there's not too much weight on the Maths test, but like everything, you've got to give yourself the best chance.
Think about effective time useage - the hard questions only give you one mark, just like the easy questions (I assume??), so choose the questions you are willing to work on carefully.
Schedule:
It's about 1-1.5 full days crammed into 2, so there's a bit of time to yourself each day depending on your individual schedule. (I had about 3 hours spare in the middle of the first day, and about 2.5 the second) You will be left a pack detailing your schedule when you arrive at the headland - it's tailored for you, so although you will do some of the events with others, no-one else's program will be the same as yours.

I wouldnt worry about the maths guys, its not that difficult. Just dont get bogged down on any one question and you will answer enough to get past it.
Focus on the interview, (tech and HR answers), and sim profile.
They were all very positive and well organised up there. Good luck.

Yep, as soon as a maths Q looks tricky, hit NEXT! You will NOT finish them all, so find the easy ones. I thought I'd majorly screwed it up, but got thru.
Don't use your calculator when doing prac tests as you don't have one on the day. Just make sure your % & ratios skills are OK and you'll be fine.
Remember to READ the question and small print on the data tables which the Q's refer to. ie: Wants answer in how many millions (eg: 10), not 10,000,000.
