Nowadays, when employers place ever increasing emphasis on candidate assessments, numerical reasoning tests are among the most common type of aptitude tests found in job selection tests. The wide variety of positions each employer is searching for necessitates the use of high-end numerical reasoning tests. To address this new level of evaluation we have dedicated the following article to a short review of these tests' characteristics, after which you can start practicing them with us online.
Characteristics of advanced numerical testsWhile the advanced numerical reasoning tests are based on the same fundamental mathematic concepts of standard numerical reasoning tests, advanced numerical reasoning questions introduce new challenges that require increased speed and critical reasoning skills:
- Phrasing: Test writers increase the difficulty of questions by using confusing verbal phrasing thereby making it more difficult to identify the key variables necessary for solution.
- Increasing the number of calculation steps: A question becomes more difficult when one is required to plan multiple steps beforehand.
- Newly introduced concepts: Advanced questions often require the use of new formulas. These are provided alongside the numerical data.
- Complex data representation / overload of numerical data: Information can be displayed on more than one graph or table. At times, most of the information is irrelevant and is only meant to cause confusion. In some cases, important information is mentioned in asterisks.
- Finance-related terminology: Incorporating basic financial concepts can set an obstacle to people who are not acquainted with these terms.
Popular types of advanced numerical reasoning testsMany tests are known to incorporate advanced numerical reasoning questions:
- Advanced numerical critical reasoning tests as seen in the employee selection process: Banking industries, consultancy, investment banking, and many more. They might not be called advanced by definition, but they are definitely aimed at a higher tier of candidates.
- Financial reasoning tests - Assess how candidates analyse, interpret, and use finance-related information. Questions revolve around numerical reasoning concepts placed in finance oriented passages. Read more about financial reasoning tests. Learn more about financial reasoning tests >>
- RUST/RANRA - Rust Advanced Numerical Reasoning Appraisal measures an individual’s ability to apply numerical reasoning to everyday problem solving in professional and business settings. The test is composed of two types of questions: Comparisons of Quantities and Sufficiency of Information. Comparisons of quantities questions involve evaluation of quantities and the relations between them. Sufficiency of information questions ask the examinee to determine whether the two sets of numerical information provided are sufficient to allow the question to be answered.
- GMAT - the Graduate Management Aptitude Test contains a quantitative section with problem solving and data sufficiency questions. Data sufficiency questions present a question with two associated statements that provide information that might be useful in answering the question. The examinee must then determine whether either statement alone is sufficient to answer the question, whether both are needed to answer the question or, whether there is not enough information given to answer the question.
