Try six original sample questions
These foundation questions show how the practice works. They are not official questions and do not reproduce the difficulty or timing of your assessment.
1. Numerical reasoning
Fictional sample community event records. First session: 500 places offered, 225 places accepted. Second session: 365 places offered, 146 places accepted. Use only these figures.
How many places accepted were recorded across both groups?
- 371
- 742
- 373
- 372
Show answer and explanation
371
225 + 146 = 371. Add the two places accepted counts, not the places offered counts.
2. Numerical reasoning
Fictional sample community event records. First session: 500 places offered, 225 places accepted. Second session: 365 places offered, 146 places accepted. Use only these figures.
How many places offered in first session were not recorded as places accepted?
- 500
- 725
- 225
- 275
Show answer and explanation
275
500 - 225 = 275. Subtract the used amount from the offered amount for first session.
3. Numerical reasoning
Fictional sample community event records. First session: 500 places offered, 225 places accepted. Second session: 365 places offered, 146 places accepted. Use only these figures.
What percentage of places offered in second session were recorded as places accepted, rounded to the nearest whole percent?
- 0
- 39
- 38
- 40
Show answer and explanation
40
146 / 365 x 100 = 40.00%, which rounds to 40%. The denominator is second session's offered total.
