//I used to get sick of thick teachers being that ambiguous when I was learning, I don't need to come across it yet again now.//
I got sick of thick pupils who couldn't follow simple instructions, thought I'd never come across them again.
The children doing this test will be familiar with the concept of making a number from a group of digits to match specific conditions.

Q6 is utter rubbish. It fails to say what you have to do with the figures. Add them ? Multiply them ? Stick them up your ... jumper ? Surely they don't mean simply order them as a 4 digit number ?

Q6 //What is the smallest odd number you can make using all four of these cards?"// - That's pretty clear to me that's the easiest of the lot, what else does it mean? arrange the 4 cards so that the number is odd and it's the smallest possible using all of the cards, that's about as unambiguous as it gets.

TBF though on the overall point I agree with those above, this should be related to aptitude. It would be folly to force all the kids to do it when clearly they are not all going to have the aptitude. Even though GCSE is much simpler that the old O'Level (GCE) there is no way these are GCSE questions. Primary School at the most.
