terms and methods such as percentages, ratios, fractions and decimals. To score well
on these questions you will simply need to make quick and accurate calculations.
This type of test can be categorized as a speed test and is used to determine your
basic numeracy. Obviously you will not be allowed to use a calculator.
If you are very rusty with arithmetic, try re-learning the times tables up to 12 and
practise multiplication, division and percentage calculations. Practice can improve
your test scores for all types of aptitude tests, so try as many examples as you
can.
These sample numerical computation questions are directly applicable to many
administrative and clerical jobs but can also appear as a component of graduate
and managerial tests. The speed at which you can answer these questions is the
critical measure, as most people could achieve a very high score given unlimited
time in which to answer.
