These practice tests aim to help learners get ready for the tests in Application of Number, Communication and Information Technology at Levels 1 and 2. Taking tests on-screen is a quite different experience from that of the more familiar paper based versions. The tests contain 40 questions and are approved by QCA for each level.

There are 12 tests, two at level one and two at level two in Application of Number, Communication and Information Technology.

There are some practice questions that will help learners get used to how the tests work.

If learners are not sure which level to try first there is a mini test that provides the opportunity for them to test their skills at different levels.
