QTS ICT Skills Test
The ICT test lasts 35 minutes and, although it is quite unlike using standard packages (eg Microsoft Office), most of the principles are the same. If you are reasonably familiar with the following applications you should find the test fairly straightforward.
Word Processor
Spreadsheet
Database
Presentation
Email
Internet Browser
ICT Test Marking
You must pass the test overall and do not necessarily have to pass every section of the test. Each of your responses carries one mark. Marks may be obtained from any part of the test and will count towards a total score. Each test contains three tasks and each of these tasks contains six sub-tasks.

- Database - where included - 3 - 11
