I did the vetassess test about a month ago, its just like an aptitude test so you need to know basic-inntermediate knowledge. If I were you I would study and maybe do some practice test online I would say year 11-12 level.
The first section of the test is Literacy and has questions about spelling, which is the odd word out and things like that... it was a bit tricky cause some words were a bit confusing..
Numeracy was the second section and you only have 30 mins to answer 40 questions. At 15 questions in they called 5 mins to go so i obviously freaked out and rushed through the last half and at "pens down" I had about 8 questions unanswered so just filled in any answers... ALL the people sitting around me in the test were in the same boat and after the test I didnt hear anyone actually finish it in the required time so DONT spend more than 30 seconds on a question just move on to the ones you CAN answer.
The last section is writing shorts answers and essays so just write what you think really- you dont need to study, maybe just review short essay tips.
I left the test a bit worried about most of it, I thought id only JUST pass or I would fail so I wasnt very hopeful but the marks I got were:
Literacy 35 out of 40
Numeracy 31 out of 40
English writing skills 14 out of 20
all you need is 50% to pass each section
hope this has helped and goodluck!
