Aptitude Tests Online - Numerical Aptitude Tests and Numerical Reasoning Questions + FREE Reasoning Tests and Questions

Probably the most common type of aptitude test and this is one type you will most certainly face at some stage in your life. Some of you might actually be dreading numerical aptitude / numerical reasoning tests. But do not worry since numerical reasoning tests really are something you can prepare for and consequently improve your test score. It is amazing how many people still think that you can't improve your score in aptitude tests through practicing. The old belief that you have to be a very clever person to pass these tests with a high mark still prevails for some reason. But this isn't the case at all. You will be amazed, and we mean amazed, of what kinds of improvements you can achieve by going through the databases we have set up for you. Practice really does make a difference and that is the main point we are making here.

By practicing on our numerical reasoning tests, you will get used to the types of questions that you might face and you will also be able to pinpoint your areas of weakness that might need more practice. This requires of course that you take an active part in the whole testing and preparation process. Remember that numerical reasoning tests are an opportunity for you to display your ability and potential so you should make the most of them.

Numerical reasoning tests are timed and they test how accurately and quickly you can work under a deadline. Usually you are not allowed to use a calculator but this may vary. You are though allowed to use empty paper given to you where you can write down things that might help you. The tests usually have multiple answers but this doesn't have to be the case. It is also VERY important that you follow the instructions to the letter. You do not want to lose out on an opportunity just because you haven't followed the instructions. In many cases your answers will be read by a computer which means that your answers really have to be indicated properly or they might be misread. I.e. follow the instructions to the letter.

There are a few different types of numerical reasoning tests that you might face. The tests can include graphs, charts and tabulated data and then you as the test taker have to find the answer by analyzing that information. Or you might get general mathematical tests including addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. In here you might also face some word problems and number sequences.

What is the missing number in this series?
1 4 10 19

A. 33 B. 31 C. 30 D. 28 E. 29

Answer: B. 31

This is because the first difference between 1 and 4 is 3. The following difference between 4 and 10 is 6. The original difference of 3 is just always added by 3 so the differences are 3, 6, 9 and the last is thus 12. Add 12 to 19 and you get 31.

Numerical reasoning tests

A barn has a side wall of the dimensions shown above. Calculate the area of the wall in square feet.

A. 90 B. 100 C. 75 D. 120 E. 72

Answer: A. 90

First calculate the bottom area i.e. 6 times 10 = 60. The top one is 12 - 6 = 6 -> 6 times 10 = 60 which should then be divided by 2 which equals 30. 30 + 60 = 90 square feet.
