A topic from OUT Events: Learning, Skills and Help

Having recently been made redundant, I have been thrown into the world outside Craft, where I've worked for 16 years.
Now, it seems things have changed, since my teens & more & more Companies, are using these computer assessment tests, to see if you are worthy of being interviewed.
The last one I went to, at Toyota, was 2.5 hours long and consisted of endless mathematical questions that I couldn't answer. I remember these questions in school, when i did Math's (Some 22 plus years ago) & wondered at the time how useful they would be in my life....Well, they weren't at all, unless, you were going to take one of these tests......

Here is an example :-

If Melissa earns 8x as much as Marty & Debbie earns four times as much as Marty & collectively, they earn £337's, how much does Marty earn?

Bear in mind, you had 32 minutes to answer 23 questions of this ilk (Approx 1.5 minutes per question)& you got a computer calculator that had just the numbers & the + , minus, divide etc icons...No %'s or anything useful.

Can anyone solve this for me & tell me, how much Marty earnt & how you work it out......I thought maybe you divided £337 by 13....But I'm an idiot with maths.....

Remember, you need this knowledge to be able to work on an assembly line in a car factory, screwing on bolts & putting in windscreens......Which, let's face it isn't rocket science.

So, one, can you answer the question correctly & two are these tests a good way to work out some-ones personality/skills? Obviously yes, in testing their maths abilities.

Tom.

8xm + 4xm + m= 13xm=337 where m=martys wage

So what you did was right by dividing by 13

The answer is easy, you pull a knife on them, and take all their money, and you have £337.00 for 0 work and minimal effort

No maths needed and problem solved
