The best way to improve speed and accuracy in answering numerical reasoning
questions is to sit some practice tests yourself. And whenever you get a spare minute, read financial reports
such as those in The Financial Times, The Economist, and other
newspapers. It’s also worthwhile to go over your A-level notes. |

Are
calculators allowed? Yes for the tests on this site and yes for the typical graduate or middle management numerical selection tests. But there's no harm in asking this question before your test day to ensure that during your practice, you can either use one or test out your mental arithmetic. Although the test administrators will usually lend you a calculator, it is a good idea to take your own as you will be familiar with the location of the buttons which might enable you to save a few vital seconds over the other candidates. It also shows that you have planned ahead. |

Will they
mark me down for incorrect answers? A frequently asked question by candidates is "will negative marking be used?". Most candidates want to know if it is sensible to guess the last few questions if time runs out. The answer is that negative marking is rarely used, but usually accuracy is assessed so don't just frantically click answers in hope. Very few assessors will reveal whether negative marking will be used, they will just say "try to answer correctly as many as you can". Selection software is able to tell the assessor what percentage of attempted questions you got right. Some companies will be looking to select candidates with accurate and consistent results, while others will be more interested in quantity of correct results and speed. Have have a think about what sort of person they are looking to recruit. |

Should I
get my friends to help with my online test; surely they'll never know? Application processes that require the candidate to sit an online numerical reasoning test and then subsequently another numerical reasoning test at the assessment center often use candidate verification methods. This is an automatic system which tries to verify that the online test was indeed completed by the same candidate that attends the assessment center. So don't get your friends to help with online numerical reasoning tests because they will probably work it out when you attend the assessment center! |
As a student, recent graduate, or active job seeker you will probably have found out for yourself how common it is for companies to use a numerical reasoning test to help sift through the vast number of applicants.

| Standardised
numerical aptitude tests are popular with employers because they are a
proven means of assessing potential employees' critical qualities, and
can be especially important when the number of applicants to offers is
high. Familiarisation with the process of numerical reasoning tests will
help you to feel more composed in a real test situation and allow you to
show your true ability when it matters. Make sure you
stand from the crowd at your next assessment
centre. If you have been called
to attend an assessment centre or have been asked to take an online test,
it is sometimes
difficult to find enough time to effectively prepare yourself for the
assessment. The best advice for candidates facing numerical
reasoning aptitude tests is to
practice some that are going to be an accurate representation of the
real thing.
Numerical reasoning tests
used by many employers are more often than not administered by the
testing agencies SHL, Cubiks, ASE Solutions, PSL, and Profiling for Success, however
the style and format of test from all these companies is very similar.
The numerical reasoning tests created by AssessmentDay are not
affiliated in any way to these companies, however the tests have been
re-created to simulate this common format which means you will be
properly prepared for most job selection tests you have to face. |
