QTS Numeracy Test for Teachers

Time, fractions, percentages, measurements, conversion and statistics

The QTS skills test in numeracy is intended to ensure that everyone qualifying to teach has a good grounding in the use of numeracy in the wider context of their professional role as a teacher. The numeracy QTS skills test requires you to show that you can:
  • carry out mental calculations using time, fractions, percentages, measurements and conversions
  • interpret and use statistical information accurately, and
  • use and apply general arithmetic correctly.
If you are a trainee tacher, to gain QTS regardless of the subjects and age ranges which you are training to teach you must pass this test. The test does not assess the broader range of mathematical knowledge which is required by those training to teach mathematics or numeracy. The pass mark is 17/28.
