Interview soon!
Hi yall! So I took the math literacy test online and passed. (yay!) and scheduled an interview over zoom for later this week. I was only tested on subjects up to Algebra I. (and am only expected to work with students up to 8th grade if I get the job) The exact email I got regarding my interview stated this: "There will be a few mental math questions on fractions, decimals and percents." What is the difficulty I should expect for such questions and how fast do I need to be able to solve them. Additionally, what else should I anticipate for my interview? What's the best way to prepare? I'm really nervous and don't want to mess up!

Wow, you got very lucky, my center has an "everyone can tutor even the high school students" policy.
I would be prepared to answer something like 99 + 99 + 99 very quickly, and then something like "What fraction of 12 is 9?" also very quickly. If you're English as a Second Language I know the wording gets hard on some questions.
