Maersk Maths Test

[stevo]

Does anyone know if you can use a calculator during the Mearsk maths test???

Not completely sure with Engines but I know my girlfriend who is a deckie with Maersk wasn't allowed to.

all cadets take same test, so no, not that you need it anyway

If it?s similar to the Royal Navy Psychometric Test (which is, allegedly, one of the hardest recruitment tests to pass) then it will be pretty straightforward. Basic GCSE Mathematics; long division, multiplication, subtraction, decimal places and percentages.

They also had a 'Mechanical Aptitude' section which involved rotating shapes to match symbols. I revised for that using the Navy's practice test and passed the actual test with flying colours even though I only have a C in GCSE Maths.

Shame about the two year wait though

Thanks for the reply guys

The tests have arrived this afternoon! Recieved two emails with links to online testing sites.

Too all applying to Maersk this year; good luck!

Hi all,

Quick note. I'm sure nobody would but can we make sure that the actual content of the tests is not posted, in keeping with the rules of the forum.

Nobody's done it and I'm not saying anyone will, but just want to make sure.

I received my tests yesterday by email, quite excited to see one of my applications actually go somewhere now! Good luck my fellow Maersk hopefuls!

I just completed the Maths and PI tests, I assume the PI test goes straight to Maersk as I have received no email, but do I email Maersk my Maths certificates?

When I spoke to Maersk they said the results go straight to them and they said nothing about emailing the certificates. The certificates are quite generic and don't even say on them which test they were for as far as I could see.

It actually says, hidden right at the bottom of the original pdf, that the results will be reported back to Maersk. Just as well I read back through the small print!
