Hi there, I am thinking about joining the Prison Service, but would like to know more about what examinations I would need to do, as I fear Maths! Any tips and advice would be appreciated.

Thanks Sara3! It was more of what type of questions would be in the exam so I could practice, for example
Ronelle's seventh-grade class went on a field trip to a bottle factory. The class enjoyed moving from room to room, watching the machines put out the glistening, brand-new bottles. The guide explained that out of every 144 bottles coming off the lines in the factory, 29 would be used by ketchup manufacturers, 18 would be used by soda factories, 33 would become medicine bottles, 41 would become salad dressing bottles, 15 would be used for vinegar, and only 8 would be used for milk, since most milk comes in cartons. On one shift, 2304 bottles came off the lines. How many bottles belonged to each category? Explain in detail how you found your answer using words, numbers, and/or pictures. I have got the answers by the way if you want them?!
