Numerical reasoning measures how quickly and accurately you read tables, graphs and percentages under time pressure. Most people can do the maths - the challenge is doing it fast. You are scored on accuracy first, then speed.

A typical test gives you 10 to 20 questions in 20 to 25 minutes, each built around a data table, chart or short block of figures. The recurring skills are percentage change (including reversing a percentage), ratios and proportions, currency conversion, and reading the right cell from a busy table. Almost every question can be answered with those handful of operations, so fluency with them is what separates a strong score from a rushed one.

The most common way people lose marks is not weak maths but poor pacing: they sink two minutes into one awkward table and then rush the rest. Give each question a rough time budget, lock in the ones you can do cleanly, and estimate or skip the outliers. Sit the free timed test below, then study each worked solution to build the mental shortcuts that save seconds. Every question here is free with a full worked answer, no signup and no card.
