Top Tips To Ace The Numerical Reasoning SHL Aptitude Test

How to Pass Your Numerical Reasoning Test

A numerical reasoning test does not test you on difficult math problems, but on how you can reason with the information presented in an array of different forms (graphs, tables, etc.) under time pressure.
SHL is a unique and different kind of test that looks at your ability to handle numerical information and data in a short span of time.
The SHL Test starts with a short introduction that includes guidelines for computer orientation and basic English language skills.
The questions are such that they can't be googled online. You won't be asked closed questions like "4 times 5" or "the fastest animal on earth".
You are expected to work out the answer from the graphs and tables provided using basic numeracy and reasoning skills.
These kinds of questions test your ability to answer questions without thinking about them, by using your innate numerical reasoning skills.
As human beings, we are more emotionally inclined. Our natural instincts are emotional in nature, logical and reasoning thought is less instinctive than our emotions.
Most people hate mathematics and the daunting nature of it in our daily lives. Through practice learning and testing, we can improve our math skills and knowledge, especially important when applying for a job that requires numerical reasoning aptitude tests.
You can’t say that the section which contains numbers is easy, but many who fail in Maths frequently claim that Maths is not for them.

Number series	Arithmetic Sequences
Geometric Sequences	Exponent Sequences
Two-Stage Sequences	Mixed Sequences
Alternating Sequences	Fibonacci Sequences
A Combination of Sequences' types

Graduate employers often assess numerical reasoning skills - especially those in the engineering and financial sectors. You may be asked to complete online numerical reasoning tests before or during an interview.
An individual with basic numeracy skills is able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.
