I understand it’s simple, especially the addition questions. But it’s been a long time since I’ve had to do long division. Without knowing some of the questions on this test beforehand, I’m confident I would be toast.
- LegitShady 5y agoI suspect if you know you were writing such a test you could have someone refresh your basic long division in relatively short time.
- sokoloff 5y agoThe two division questions in the section where you didn’t have a calculator didn’t require you to complete the division. You could examine the answers and get easily to the answer in one case and get to the answer or a 50/50 shot in the other case with basic knowledge of math, even if you forgot the long division mechanics.
- scruple 5y agoBut you're not a teacher, right? Is this test not testing something that a teacher kind of sort of ought to know well enough to... teach?
- soperj 5y agoThere are 4 multiple choice answers. The questions were pretty simple to answer without even doing the math properly. They seem to be more "are you even aware of how to do this" than "here's a question that might present some difficulty".
- candiodari 5y agoA little less than 1 in 10 teachers failed this test when they tried ... And frankly the quality of teachers isn't much better elsewhere.
