Preparing for Testing - Literacy Level 2
Have you improved your word skills and want a qualification to prove it? Now you can with a Certificate in Adult Literacy, a nationally recognised qualification. To get a certificate you have to pass a short test. To help you do this we have developed a preparation course to help build your confidence prior to taking the test.
The course shows you just what to expect when you take the test. It is divided into two parts, "How To Do The Test" and "Practice". "How To Do The Test" explains how to prepare and tackles any questions or problems you may face. It looks in detail at the types of test questions and how to complete them. It also explains what help there is if you get stuck.
The "Practice" section gives you the chance to have a go at some practice questions. There are also past tests for you to work through which have 40 multiple choice questions. Progress bubbles on the screen change colour as you work through the course so you can keep track on how you are getting on.
When finished, you'll be more confident and well on your way to getting a Certificate in Adult Literacy.
