This book outlines all of the test requirements and the essential subject knowledge. This Third Edition is updated throughout and now includes a full practice test. Fully revised and updated by one of the authors of the actual skills test, from the Alphaplus Consultancy, this text is an accurate, up-to-date and comprehensive practice tool for the literacy skills test.
