### 4/5 — Good but needs to be clearer

*2019-08-11, version 3.0*

Good but some words aren’t clear. Defiantly asks for laboratories rather then laboratory during the spelling test.

### 4/5 — A great help

*2019-01-07, version 2.41*

This app is fantastic and a great help to revising for the tests especially with the numeracy side. The only thing is it only has tests and doesn’t explain how to get to the correct answer if you get it wrong.

### 4/5 — Thumbs up

*2018-02-02, version 2.41*

Great app! Would be even more helpful if it explained why I got the answer wrong and how to answer it the next time!

### 5/5 — incredibly useful

*2016-02-19, version 1.91*

this app has been an absolute lifesaver! i haven't used the literacy tests since i've already passed it, but the numeracy tests are great. the ones on the dofe website are good, but i can only do them so many times, so its great to have these as well. the questions match up well to the 'official' practice tests so i feel well-prepared for my test tomorrow. 

the only thing i would say is that the timings are a bit off compared to the real thing (e.g. it says you have 18 seconds after the second reading of the question, but if the question is really short you barely have any time at all even if it's difficult). also the pronunciation of some words throws me off a bit, like 'maths' is pronounced 'marths', and there are a few incorrect answers listed as correct, but only by things like one decimal place.

besides those minor things, this app is amazing and it's definitely worth spending a little to buy all the tests!

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2016-02-18, version 1.91*

Awesome app! I can't recommend this app enough! Don't hesitate, choose this app over any other website. Well worth the money.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2016-02-13, version 1.91*

Such a useful app. The only thing I could ask for is more tests!

### 5/5 — Brilliant app!

*2016-01-24, version 1.91*

There aren't enough practice tests on the website so this is brilliant. This times you, and gives you your percentage score. Also a lot cheaper than some of the websites that give you tests! Thank you! This has been a gem find!

### 5/5 — Helped me pass first time! 😆

*2015-12-10, version 1.83*

This is the best QTS app by far. Very helpful.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2015-11-16, version 1.82*

It is an excellent app. It has helped with my revision a lot :D.

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2015-10-17, version 1.81*

Really high quality questions. Thank you for the help!

### 4/5 — Good additional help

*2015-08-21, version 1.75*

It is good app for practising for your tests. Use it as additional practise. Wish there was more tests to purchase :)

### 3/5 — The Punctuation section is too basic

*2015-07-30, version 1.73*

Over all an ok app. However, the punctuation section is very basic.  The additional test are expensive as you pay £3 per test. You can purchase the QTS book with several tests included and explanation to each answer on Amazon for £6.

### 1/5 — Awful customer service

*2019-05-15, version 2.41*

Downloaded the app, completed the first test which had good questions on it, but then purchased a second test for £3.99 for the money to go out of my account, but then the app to not even open. I rang their customer service team, left a message and they still haven’t got back to me. I emailed TWICE saying I wanted my money back and I have had no response. This was over a week ago now. Really unprofessional and such a waste of money. I feel like I have been conned out of my money. DO NOT BUY. Use the FREE government tests instead which are much more realistic and use the same format as the actual tests.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2018-09-17, version 2.41*

I could not get onto anything without paying £3.99 for it I took the practice test and got so stressed out because it only gave me 15 seconds to do the question,other people recommend it but personally it’s not for me thankyou

### 1/5 — Awful

*2018-06-25, version 2.41*

It does not work at all. When you click on spelling section, you can hear nothing. And the literacy part, when you work it once the, the changes you made previously remains and you just see your highlighted previous work. I paid £9.97 and bought one test in each section-it was wasting of money.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-06-02, version 2.41*

The free stuff is ok, though don’t pay for anything. Only one thing downloaded after paying for more and that didn’t even work.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2018-03-14, version 2.41*

Awful app. For starters, it's spelt practise wrong for practise QTS. Surely that says it all? It has loads of spelling mistakes but most importantly, is so far off from what an actual QTS is like! Don't even bother downloading the free test! Let alone spending money on this app! Trust me. I spent loads on it and it's tragic. Use the online official DfE practise Tests!!

### 1/5 — Not pleased!

*2017-01-26, version 2.3*

Bought the extra literacy packs (more expensive than what it said!) and it was the same content that I already had. So I spend close to £8 for nothing. The spellings packs were just as bad (also more expensive) with a terrible robo-voice that is virtually unintelligible. 

Not pleased and have asked for a refund.

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2015-08-18, version 1.75*

I completed the free sample which was great so I purchased numeracy pack 1 which contains 2 tests. It let me complete test 1 but now keeps coming up with a error message and will not let me complete any of the tests! I have contacted them but no reply. Waste of money!

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2015-01-29, version 1.6*

Each time I reach the end of a test the app switches off so I am unable to read my score .. A waste of £2.99

### 2/5 — Incorrect answers/questions

*2014-08-19, version 1.03*

During the numeracy test (1) I found errors including a blank graph and was also marked incorrectly for a question which was in fact correct.. For £1.99 this is not acceptable!

### 3/5 — Good questions but not working when I have purchased and downloaded sections

*2019-04-10, version 2.41*

The questions are helpful so I have purchased a set to download. 
Unfortunately the app hasn’t recognised this. I have received payment and download emails from Apple but I can’t access what I have payed for?? 
Very annoying!

### 5/5 — QTS practice skills test

*2019-08-11, version 3.0*

I attempted these first before doing the practice government tests. I found it really helpful in increasing my speed and confidence for the mental arithmetic part of the test. Then when it came the practice tests, I was passing these with ease. Definitely worth spending the money on these tests. I passed first time.

### 5/5 — QTS practice tests

*2019-07-04, version 3.0*

If I can pass numeracy, these tests must do the trick. I'm terrible at maths and the mental arithmetic is a nightmare. Do and re-doing the tests gave me great confidence. When I did the real thing yesterday it was no walk in the park, and there were questions that were unfamiliar, but still I managed to pass! You don't want to sit these tests again because it's kind of depressing.  Well worth the £20 or so spent.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2018-12-02, version 2.41*

I would not have passed without this app! Timed tests made the difference!!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2017-07-02, version 2.41*

I could not recommend this app enough, especially for the numeracy side of things. The mental arithmetic tests were a fantastic help. Although the packs are a bit pricey, I would strongly recommend buying them.

### 5/5 — PASSED MY QTS FIRST TIME!

*2017-03-02, version 2.4*

What an amazing app! I brought every pack for the numeracy tests (bit pricey), but worth every penny to pass first time! Now let's try out the literacy test!!

### 5/5 — Love

*2017-02-16, version 2.4*

This app is amazing. I recommend it to everyone who are doing the QTS tests. I have bought all of the in-app Literacy packs and they are worth it. They build confidence!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2017-01-07, version 2.3*

Working through the questions and would highly recommend this app to ace the exam.

### 5/5 — Practice QTS Skills Tests

*2016-09-05, version 2.2*

An amazing app! Builds up your confidence gradually.
I have just passed both skills tests! Thank you

### 5/5 — It would be wrong for me not to review it

*2016-05-03, version 2.0*

especially after it helped me pass my numeracy test.

Do yourself a favour and download this and buy the packs.

Also go on numeracy ready and sign up there as well. 

Both will cost you some £40, but they will help you pass a test which for some  can be near impossible.

### 5/5 — Brilliant app!

*2016-02-25, version 1.91*

This is such a great, user friendly app that has helped me to pass both my skills tests first time! It's absolutely perfect for practicing on the go (train journeys etc) and I love the variety of tests you can get. Would highly recommend to anyone about to sit their skills tests. Many thanks!
