NCFE test simulatorBackgroundThe format of the NCFE online Adult Literacy tests is quite different to the Move On practice tests. This PowerPoint was developed in order to familiarise learners with the NCFE screens and, in particular, experience the zoom function in a similar way to the way it appears on the test.It also provides useful exam practice for all L1 and L2 Literacy students – no matter which awarding body is being used.
