About this test
This free numerical reasoning test measures how confidently you work with numbers under a little pressure. Ten questions span three areas that employers and aptitude tests rely on: number sequences, everyday arithmetic, and proportional reasoning (percentages and ratios). It takes about four minutes and needs no registration.
As soon as you finish, we score your answers and email a category-by-category breakdown, so you can see whether your strength is spotting sequences, fast mental arithmetic, or reasoning about proportions. Treat the result as a quick, reliable estimate of the numerical aptitude tested in graduate and job-selection assessments.
Numerical reasoning improves with focused practice. If your weakest area is percentages and ratios, a few minutes a day on that specific skill moves your score faster than untargeted drilling — and the report tells you where to start.
Frequently asked questions
What is a numerical reasoning test?
A numerical reasoning test measures how well you interpret and work with numbers — sequences, arithmetic, percentages, and ratios — usually under time pressure. Employers use them in graduate and job-selection assessments because they predict on-the-job problem solving.
What topics does this test cover?
Three areas: number sequences (spotting the rule), everyday arithmetic (speed, cost, percentages), and proportional reasoning (ratios and percentage change).
How long does it take?
About four minutes. There are ten questions and no time limit, though answering at a steady pace best reflects your reasoning.
Can I use a calculator?
For the truest estimate of mental numerical reasoning, try it without one. Real assessments sometimes allow a calculator and sometimes don't, so practising both ways helps.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free and no account needed. You enter an email only so we can send your category-by-category report.
