Book Description :

Numerical reasoning and data interpretation tests are routinely used in recruitment procedures. These tests represent a considerable challenge for many candidates, and the prospect of facing them can be daunting.

How to Pass Numerical Reasoning Tests is a valuable resource for anyone who needs to brush up on their math skills. An overview of the basics is followed by a step-by-step guide to numerical tests, including fractions and decimals, rates, percentages and ratios, and proportions. This revised edition is full of useful tips to help the reader understand and answer questions without using a calculator.

The success of the First Edition of How to Pass Numerical Reasoning Tests demonstrates that there are many people who, despite a high level of experience and competence in other areas of their professional life, are not confident about passing tests that involve numbers. However, what is not commonly known is that with practice it is possible to improve your numerical reasoning score dramatically.

This book was designed with the adult test-taker in mind – someone who is looking for some extra practice material prior to taking a test. Topics covered include:
● percentages – ‘what are the three parts I have to know in order to work out the answer?’
● decimals – ‘what was that quick way to multiply them?’
● workrates – ‘wasn’t there something about adding the total time together and dividing by something?’
● prime numbers and multiples – ‘I remember I can use these to help me, but can’t quite remember how’
● interest rates – ‘what were the two different types and how do I use each of them?’.

This workbook reminds the non-mathematician what these terms are and how to work with them quickly.

The First Edition of How to Pass Numerical Reasoning Tests has helped thousands of applicants prepare for their test. This Second Edition will help many more. Better preparation for psychometric testing leads to increased confidence during the initial assessment and this, undoubtedly, gives you a better chance of getting that job.
