The numerical reasoning assessment differs from other numerical exams, as it contains certain open response questions for applicants to calculate and write down the exact answer. Additionally, the logical reasoning exam consists of abstract verbal and non-verbal questions. Preparing for an excel exam may be necessary, since it is a large aspect of office work.
