    Heya,

    Ok that might be a stupid question, but does anyone know what is involved in a literacy skills test. Iv an interview coming up on Monday, and Iv no idea what to expect. Is it grammer, or spellings or something? Lost?

    Also, I must do a power point presentation based on a marketing scenario. Any idea what that would looking like? Would it be like a paragraph and I must figure out what to put in the presentation from that.



    Thanks

    Sorry, couldn't resist. :D But yes, it is most likely to check how your spelling and grammar are.

    Knowing nothing about marketing, I presume it would be a presentation to try and sell something?

    So, a couple of slides, well presented, structured in a logical format, I would think.

    Ya thats what I thought too, just needed to hear it from someone else. I was worried that Id walk in and not have a clue of what Im ment to do. My spellings are a disaster!! Joys.

    My experience of the literacy skills test is 3 or 4 short comprehensions
    with a few short questions for each.

    They are not trying to catch you out but are simply making sure
    that you have a working knowledge of English.

    I also did a numeracy test which was pretty tough.
    12 minutes to answer 60 questions (Multiple choice).
