I have been asked to do the online numeracy test and was wondering what level the questions would be at and maybe any examples? Thanks!

I applied for this years one, as a side to see how I'd do, as I'm probably going to University anyway. I got past the application form stage, then a situational questionnaire, then the maths test, but failed on the mechanical test. Ah well!

Last year I used this to practice for fault finding...

The test they gave us at the assessment centre was actually easier than those but it gives you an idea of what they are like. Although it may be different this year.

Cheers for the info t o m, i would also like to know what did you have to do in the group exercise? And was the interview a formal one?

Last year for the group exercise we were given some cylinders that fitted together and we had to make as many squares as we could that all joined together, or something like that. I think they may have changed it this year to having to make a track for a ball to roll down. A few of us did it as part of a mental agility challenge one evening at Collingwood. It has to be made of paper and tape, be self supporting, a certain height off the ground, have a curve and an incline and probably some other things I'm forgetting. Don't worry too much it's more about seeing the teamwork than the task.

I wrote a bit more about the assessment day on the other thread.

Hints and tips were given in the email from HR, I suggest you read for guidence. Asking for anymore seems a little unfair. Good luck anyhow.
