Prepare for your self-check
Before you begin
This is a short self-check using fictional care-workplace examples. It is not a standardized language test, clinical qualification, recruitment decision or proof of competence. There is no timer. You can enlarge the text and take breaks. Your score describes this set of questions only.
This activity uses ten multiple-choice questions about ordinary supplies, times and costs in Canadian dollars. Eight correct answers meet the 80% target. A calculator and scrap paper are allowed; this is untimed practice, not a standardized numeracy assessment. No question involves a medication dose, patient measurement or treatment decision.
Reflect: Gather paper or a calculator if helpful. Use only the numbers supplied in each question.
Use your results
Feedback groups questions into Whole-number operations, Time and money, and Fractions, percentages and units. Read the explanation for each answer, including answers you guessed correctly. Write the unit beside a calculation: boxes, minutes, dollars or centimetres. A number without its unit can answer the wrong question.
To practise, make up a small stock list and calculate totals; calculate the length of an imaginary meeting; or convert a non-clinical length from metres to centimetres. Check your method with a learning supporter. Do not use this score to claim medication-calculation competence. Retakes repeat the questions; improving a score is not the same as an independently assessed numeracy level.
Reflect: Choose one calculation you want to practise and explain your method in words.
