I've just been asked to attend a job interview next week and the email says there will be a short 15 to 20 minute test in literacy and numeracy.

I've only ever had one written interview test before, years ago, which i failed miserably.

I have mild dyspraxia, which is like dyslexia, but i'm not sure whether to mention this when i reply to accept the interview.

Has anyone done these tests before? I'm English and they are related to the DWP, i think, as the job is part of the Local Employment Partnership scheme.

I want to know how much actual writing they involve, as if it isn't much i won't mention my dyspraxia, which i don't really want to disclose.

Thanks people!! !

I have no direct experience, but I think you can just tell them you have difficulty with writing.
