KUMON INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION Mathematics Supervisor Recruitment Test Assessment Guidelines Maximum time allowed: 30 minutes Number of questions: 50 [There are 5 questions from each level 2A-I] Marking sheet: Enclosed with worked solutions ve Mark questions: Either correct or incorrect Internal pass mark: 32/50 (subject to the guidelines below) Base your judgement on the following: . Questions marked with a ® are designed to test fundamental skills. Expect a result of at least 2, which allows for one careless error. Please note, El must be comrect, as this demonstrates basic logic. ‘Think very carefully about selecting candidates who make an error here. It is.advisable to observe the candidates while they complete the test. Counting on fingers or scratching out lines on pieces of paper etc, indicate poor basic skills and suggest future problems with ‘worksheet completion. , Encourage candidates to show their working and refer to this when making decisions. Poor calculation skills, carelessness or lack of practice may lead to incorrect answers, even though the candidate can use mathematical processes correctly. This will be evident in questions involving multiple processes such as long multiplication/division and the more complex fractions. '. Candidates who score highly on questions from levels GHI, but who make besic calculation errors in {f the eatlier sections should be viewed more favourably than those who may have scored the same reoult from only completing the easier calculation questions. Worksheet completion will polish their calculations skills. 5. Tudge favourably candidates who attempt more questions, especially those from the higher levels, than those who may have gained the same score from attempting fewer questions. Candidates, who fall into this category, have attempted to recall past knowledge and will find worksheet completion HO1299V1 15 Deo 199902K 4 | Level E * 3) 247= lo] r 3 + et) T+4= 7 en otgt 5 2) 349= 12 @ 3) 84+6= /F @ 4) 56+8= 7 1,3_- 249 04) 9-7 & we 43%.
