Frequently asked questions
- What is the NHS numeracy pass mark?
- It varies by trust and role, but most NHS numeracy assessments require around 75–80%. Always check the brief for your specific role.
- Can I use a calculator?
- Some trusts allow a basic calculator; others require mental and written calculation only. The mocks let you practise both ways.
- Are these the same as the NMC CBT calculations?
- Similar in style, but NMC CBT has its own dedicated section. We have a separate NMC CBT topic for international nurses.
- How long should I spend per question?
- Aim for around 1 minute per question on average — fast enough to finish, slow enough to double-check your decimal places.
