No, but what kind of maths questions would they ask? It is some kind of quick arithmetics? I hardly see you needing more than that to be a teller.

Yeah, last time it was simple questions, leading on to simple mathematics then after was a hard formula mathematics type eg. 45 x (?) = 12 + 46 type stuff. which i failed miserably at as i only had about 10 seconds to get it wrong or right.

I'm hoping i get this right but yeah obviously a teller job cant be too hard. Do you know if you can move up in these sort of roles?

I have no idea about career advancement (which I would guess is somewhat limited and you would be better off going to school in the long term), but AFAIK you can really train for these exams. I remember a national IQ test show we had and one of the parts was arithmetics. The cashiers completely blew everyone out of the water solely because simple arithmetics is all they do day in day out. I'm guessing the formula you had was something that would divide into integers, so the more you train that the faster you'll get at it.

Personally, I would fail miserably at this test since I rarely do arithmetics and just open the Windows calculator whenever I need to do anything more than a two digit addition. Safer that way. Then again, I also don't need it for my work.

Good luck with the job and don't push education too far on the backburner. Read about "human capital" on an occasion. Unless you are born rich or are very lucky, you are your most expensive asset.

I've had 2 mates work at banks, one at ANZ and they are not the sharpest knives in the draw mate so don't worry I'd say you'll get it easy
