Numerical reasoning tests are so stressful... anyone got any tips?
The hardest bit is figuring out exactly what they want from the data, once you work that out, the calculations are easy. Just need to get used to the datasets they provide.
Don't look at the timer also, that ****s up composure.

How good's your maths?
-First of all make sure you know what you're looking at and what the numbers represent.
- Write down all your calculations, don't just chuck it all into the calculator.
- Don't over complicate it, the one I did it was generally just ratio and percentages and how they changed, and how that change effected the outcome etc. When you simplify those things they aren't too difficult.
I've been doing a lot at work and when i don't have a time limit they're easy but the time limits are a bit stressful. Normally i'm very productive and don't give two ****s about time limits but with this they're noticeable.
I'm pretty good with figures but I haven't done any "proper" Maths since GCSE, which was a very long time ago. So things like algebra, proportions, profit margins etc I am very rusty with I do understand the content, i'm just a bit slow.
