Advice and Practice To Help You
Pass Your Math & Numerical Tests

If your competitors know this, they'll be brushing up on test taking strategies to up their chances of getting hired.

You need to do the same.

Luckily we work in recruitment and would like to help.

So here are our Top 7 Tips for Numerical Tests.

Bear in mind that most of the time, the numerical and math tests are designed to see how quickly your mind is able to understand numbers, not how accurately you can do algebra or quadratic equations.

But if you haven't studied math for a while, it's a good idea to refresh your memory. It's sometimes the case that you're not allowed to use a calculator, so practicing your mental arithmetic beforehand can give you confidence and save you some time in the test.

7 Tips For Maths and Numerical Tests

• Run through your times tables.
• Practice some basic calculations like fractions and percentages.
• Practice estimating answers -- even if you can use a calculator, estimating will help make sure you're not wildly out.
• Make sure you can do some long multiplications.
• Numerical questions are usually based on your ability to understand data presented in tables so buy a financial paper (or something similar) and get familiar with reading tables of information.
• Don't worry about complex math such as algebra. You will not be tested on this unless explicitly told by the employer.
• Bookmark this BBC page. It takes you through some basic maths which you'll find useful for numerical or maths tests.
