It's not too hard when you put your brain onto it! And that's coming from a 12 years old.

It would be easier on paper as I can't really display workings...

 

But start from the begging as you'll get a head start to 15!.

 

1!= 1 (1*1)

2!=2 (1*2)

3!=6 (1*2*3)

4!=24 (1*2*3*4)

5!=120 (1*2*3*4*5)

6!=720 (1*2*3*4*5*6)

Ect...

 

This is from the top of my head! For the harder bit i recommend the Grid method.

It splits up each digit so you times each digit easily and get an accurate result.

 

Once you get to 15!, start from 15! - 14! (Use collum method) and then get to 1. it should take 5-10min.

 

(That is for me, maybe for you it'll be quicker)!

The test will be appropriate it won't be too hard on you!

 

Also, you can do working outs.

 

Calculator questions, aren't mainly on the fact that its a long calculation but how you solve it.

 

You'll be fine!
