Practice tests

Every drill and full-length test has 12 questions.

Every question type, explained

What you'll actually see

The interactive test uses three question formats. Here's how each one works, what it really measures and where candidates lose points. Every demo is a working question from our practice set — try it.

01

Tables

Read the table and any note below it, then select one of six answers.

What it tests

Finding the right values in a table and using them in practical calculations such as totals, differences and currency conversions.

Common pitfalls

  • Reading the wrong row or column
  • Ignoring the note below the table, such as an exchange rate
  • Converting in the wrong direction

Tip: Find the exact row and column first, then check whether the note changes the calculation.

02

Charts

Read the values from the bar or line chart, then select one of six answers.

What it tests

Reading labelled values from charts and comparing them: sums, differences, averages and percentage changes.

Common pitfalls

  • Using the wrong series or year in a grouped bar chart
  • Comparing the wrong two months
  • Calculating a percentage change from the wrong starting value

Tip: Check the legend and the category labels before you read any value.

03

Word problems

Read the short situation, work out the calculation and select one of six answers.

What it tests

Turning a practical work situation into the right calculation: discounts, rates, time, quantities and costs.

Common pitfalls

  • Giving the discount instead of the price paid
  • Forgetting a second step
  • Mixing up units such as minutes and hours

Tip: Ask yourself what exactly the answer should be — a price, a quantity or a time — before you calculate.

Know what is being assessed

More than mental maths

Aspects Numerical Reasoning measures how quickly and accurately you can use everyday numerical information: reading values from tables and charts and doing practical calculations such as totals, differences, percentages and conversions.

Our 180 questions alternate between tables, charts and short work situations, each with six options. Most points are lost by reading the wrong row or bar, or by skipping a step such as a conversion or a discount. Your selected answer remains saved when the 60-second timer runs out.

A smarter preparation routine

  1. 01

    Check your invitation

    Confirm the exact test name, deadline, calculator rules and any adjustments agreed with the employer.

  2. 02

    Get the method right first

    Refresh percentage changes, proportions, ratios and averages. Review why an answer is correct rather than memorising it.

  3. 03

    Add time pressure

    Once the format feels familiar, rehearse under the conditions given in your invitation and look for where you lose time.

  4. 04

    Prepare your test-day setup

    Use a stable connection and a quiet space. Read the official instructions and complete any introductory examples carefully.

Your assessment questions, answered

Can I use a calculator?

In the practice tests you can use a calculator and scratch paper. Check your invitation for the rules of your real assessment.

Will these be my actual assessment questions?

We cannot know your employer's question set. The goal is to prepare for the skills and interaction types, not to provide confidential assessment questions.

How long is the assessment?

The overview above is provisional and may differ from your assessment. Your employer's invitation and the official test instructions are the source of truth for the question count and time limit.
