How to pass numeracy tests - Harry Tolley

Candidates for selection and promotion interviews by large employers will find that numeracy tests are second in use only to verbal reasoning (word-power) tests.

Numeracy tests call for the ability to add, subtract, divide and multiply, usually without the aid of calculators, and to interpret numerical data.

Familiarity with test procedures in advance will increase confidence. This book will help anyone preparing for selection tests containing a numerical element. This new expanded edition offers information, practical advice and many new practice tests (as well as the answers, to allow self-assessment). It deals with the three common types of numeracy test:

number problems

number sequences

data interpretation.

Based on the author's work preparing candidates for the uniformed services and the Civil Service entrance examinations, this book will prove invaluable to all who apply for jobs, promotion or training.
