Online Maths Initial Assessment

You have booked on a pre-course interview with us for a GCSE or Functional Skills Maths course. Before you attend this, you will need to have completed an online Maths Initial Assessment.

You must complete the assessment at least 3 days before the day / time you have booked.

Completing your initial assessment

The online Maths Initial assessment should take you around 45 mins, please do not take much longer than this.

  • You MUST NOT use a calculator
  • You must keep any working out done on paper, as your tutor may want to discuss this
  • You must only attempt this assessment once

Once you have completed your Initial Assessment, log in to your pre-course interview with a tutor on the day / time you have booked. The tutor will email you the log in details for the pre-course interview nearer the time. This interview will take place online via a webinar or in one of our centres.

You will need to show the assessing tutor photo ID and proof of address, so please have this ready.

If you have any questions, or are unable to attend your interview, please let us know by contacting lifelong.learning@essex.gov.uk or 0345 603 7635. This will allow us to reallocated assessment spaces to other learners.

Thank you.
