Numerical Reasoning

What to expect
- Tabbed charts and tables you switch between to find the figure.
- Statements to mark True, False or Cannot Say.
- A tight clock — often more items than anyone finishes.
What it measures
- Reading tables and bar / line / pie charts
- Judging statements True, False or Cannot Say
- Working accurately at speed
Instructions
- 1Find the exact figure the statement depends on before deciding.
- 2'Cannot Say' means the data supports neither answer — use it.
- 3Keep moving; correct answers per minute is what's scored.
Tips
- Skim the tabs first so you know where each data type lives.
- Don't over-read — most items need only one or two numbers.
