A PRACTICAL GUIDE
Using Numerical Reasoning in recruitment.
What does the Numerical Reasoning test assess?
Numerical reasoning questions ask candidates to use figures in tables and charts, including percentages and ratios. Choose this test when the job involves interpreting information, rather than only carrying out routine arithmetic.
How can you use the Numerical Reasoning results?
Compare candidates who took the same test and level. Ask them to explain a calculation relevant to your role, including the figures they used and the checks they made. The result describes their answers under test conditions, not their job performance.
Where is numerical reasoning useful?
- FinanceInterpreting figures, percentages and financial tables.
- Sales analysisComparing changes, ratios and numerical trends.
- OperationsDrawing conclusions from charts and performance data.
Choosing tests for your vacancy
Choose Numerical Reasoning for interpreting figures and drawing conclusions. Choose Basic Math for everyday arithmetic, quantities and percentages. Add Error Checking only when spotting discrepancies is a separate requirement of the vacancy.

BEFORE YOU START
Your Numerical Reasoning questions, answered.
What does the Numerical Reasoning test help me assess?
It explores tables & charts, percentages & ratios, interpreting figures. Use the results to compare candidates on the same questions and identify topics to explore further.
Which Numerical Reasoning topics should matter for my role?
Start with the work the person will do. This page covers tables & charts, percentages & ratios, interpreting figures. Decide which of those areas matter for your role before reviewing results, and explore any specialist requirements separately.
Can I combine Numerical Reasoning with other tests?
Yes. Add Numerical Reasoning alongside other relevant tests in one assessment. Choose the combination for your role and review the total time before inviting candidates.
Can I assess real candidates for free?
Yes. Create your account, build an assessment and invite candidates. Your first 5 candidate results are free. No credit card is required.
What happens after my free results?
You pay per candidate result you unlock, rather than per test. There is no subscription or annual commitment. Check the pricing page for current rates.
How should I use the Numerical Reasoning results?
Compare results against the knowledge or ability your role needs. Use them to focus interviews and practical tasks, alongside relevant experience. A test score should not decide who you hire on its own.
