Frequently asked questions
What is the free mini mock test?
A 15-minute online test that samples the main Level 2 English and Maths topics and gives you a score with a breakdown, so you know which worksheets to start with.
How far ahead should I start revising?
For most adult learners, six to ten weeks of two or three focused sessions a week is realistic. The study plan template maps that out week by week.
What if I’ve already failed once?
You can re-sit. Use the mock results guide to work out which strand let you down, then target it – most re-sit candidates need to fix two or three specific skills, not start again from scratch.
