Part 3.1: Key numerical abilities to develop
Section 1 of this guide described the range of maths techniques that numerical ability tests draw upon. In order to develop your actual numerical ability you need to become confident in applying these forms of calculation. Developing these maths techniques will strengthen your numerical ability and therefore increase your test scores.
Numerical test ablities
To maximise your performance on high level numerical tests you also need to develop confidence a range of other numerical skills:
If you are completing practice questions you should find this range of numerical skills being covered. You can deepen your degree of experience in these techniques by looking for opportunities at work or college to use the skills for real.
