to the Learning Matters literacy and numeracy tests site - your opportunity to practise your skills before taking the TTA tests

Use the Select Questions button above for free access to the tests site.

Practise your skills

The questions you'll find on this site are similar to the ones you'll have to do in your TTA tests. The questions are divided into topic sections so you can choose which topic you'd like to be tested on. And you have the opportunity of checking your answer and getting immediate feedback, question by question.

The TTA tests do not test your ICT skills but to take them effectively you need to be able to carry out some simple ICT tasks. These tests allow you to practise such skills as dragging and dropping images. 

Unlike the TTA tests, our tests are not timed and we don't offer you a score at the end of the questions. Instead, we provide you with help and support to get your literacy and numeracy skills up to speed so that you feel confident to take the TTA tests.

Don't forget to make use of our online calculator by clicking on the icon  at the bottom of the maths pages (NOT to be used in the mental maths section!) and make sure you have a pen and piece of paper to hand in case you want to jot down notes.
