The BARB is the last thing you should be worrying about. Seriously. If I were you I'd just concentrate on fitness.

the only way you can fail the BARB is if you can't read its that simple.

But if you do happen to fail the BARB, you may want to consider another job, or maybe goin back to primary school?

hehe, seriously though, easy as pie, just read the little book they give you explaining how it all works and what the questions are like and you'll be fine. If for some reason you do fail it, you can alwasy re-book and take it again.

1+1 = ?

2+1 = ?

3-1 = ?

If you don't get that right you may have a stunning career in the Kingos or Booties.

Go on then, tell us who helped you with the maths paper... Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble or Grubb or did you take your socks off?

I was just talking to a buddy today and hes says it starts off with like,

"Tommy has 4 balloons
Jakes has 3 balloons
Danny has 2 ballons

How many balloons do they have?"

He said then it just gradually got more difficult...but still easy. He got a 64.
