Frequently Asked Questions

The online exam is very easy to use. You don’t need any special software. On the day of your exam, you will be emailed a Google Meets link 10-15 before your agreed start time. You simply click the link and connect with the exam invigilator. They will then talk through the instructions and share the exam link with you. The exam presents questions on screen, and you write your answers on paper, then scan this in at the end of the exam. It’s all straight forward to use and the exam invigilator will be there to help you.

You will need the following for the day of your exam:

  1. An internet connection capable of sustaining a video call (please test before your exam day)
  2. A web cam
  3. Your ID
  4. Pen, paper and a scientific calculator
  5. Smartphone (to scan in your workings if you have done anything on paper).

The GCSE Maths Equivalency Test consists of:

1 hour Non-Calculator Paper – 50 marks 

1 hour Calculator Paper – 50 marks

These papers are sat back to back in one 2 hour examination.

This specification gives all the topics required for higher and foundation.

Yes we offer both higher and foundation GCSE maths equivalency tests.

The foundation paper has a maximum grade awarded which is a 5, and you’d need a higher number of correct answers than if you sat a higher paper. However, whilst some questions are present in both exams, there is a greater focus on number and ratio than the higher paper and the questions are easier. Those that are less confident generally choose to sit the Maths GCSE foundation exam.

The higher paper gives grades from 3 – 9. These exams have some of the same questions as the foundation but have a greater focus on algebra, and geometry and measure than foundation and include more difficult questions. Higher papers are generally sat by more confident students seeking the highest grades (7,8 and 9).

To compare the differences, view our maths equivalency specification.

You require a GCSE Maths equivalency for entry into a higher education courses that accept GCSE equivalencies (typically teacher training for QTS, midwifery and nursing).

Where can I sit the GCSE Maths equivalency Exam?

Yes! we do offer the option of a paper-based exam. Please follow the link to see our paper-based exam product.

Foundation is a shorter course and has much higher pass rates. We advise that all learners should sit foundation maths as foundation has a higher pass rate. The only exception to this advice is if you are looking to get into teaching in Wales and you need a grade 6 in GCSE maths. In this specific scenario you would have to take higher tier.

  9. I was a little worried about my maths equivalency test but managed to scrape through

  10. I can not tell you how much I hate maths and the thought of having to do this nearly put me off teaching all together. However I pulled myself together and got my head down and after 3 months of painful study the exam wasn’t that bad! I got my pass level 4 which is all I care about as I can now move on. Everyone on the website, phone and emails were friendly and supportive. Really happy to recommend this to others.
