I wasn't suggesting cheating, I am not that sort of girl - lol (although I can see how it would have looked like that from my post - I must read them before posting sometimes) I was more thinking some topic specific coaching

HI PAID sorry realised from your pm that you weren't suggesting cheating but didn't go back and change post.

My OH kept offering tho :rotfl:to "help" while I was doing the test - I was feeling a bit wary of the temptation!:eek: Would lose me all credibility for ever if I did - and I don't think I could have lived with it. I am sure lots of people do cheat tho - on on-line tests what is to stop them except "honour" but some people have no honour!
With regard to coaching I would need face to face 1:1 support I think! The basic problem is my brain isn't wired for that kind of maths or really anything I can't see a direct use for! I got a B at maths o'level and I had to do a professional qualification that included statistics and I passed it with flying colours - but we all paid for extra tutoring! It just doesn't come naturally, and I don't need this type of maths in my job so I just resent the test! I am too slow doing the test I got just over half way thro that was all which was disappointing... Just have to accept that it is part of who I am and they can either accept that or not. Can't do anything about it now... Still worrying tho :eek:Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
