following the text of most calls that include this exercise (ad, ast, cast), it is
usually indicated that the pre-selection test or 'first round' of the
competitions comprises "a numerical reasoning test to assess your ability to
think logically and understand numerical information".
the test, like the others of this phase (verbal and abstract reasoning ones), is
done using the computer, so they are called computer-based tests (cbt).
moreover, the format of this pre-selection round is based on multiple-
choice questions (mcq), so you need to perform your to find
out which is the right answer from the four options offered.
the numerical reasoning test is composed of 10 questions and lasts 20
minutes. the pass-mark normally is 5/10 for both ad and ast competitions.
for the cast calls, the pass-mark (10/20) is combined between the
numerical and abstract reasoning tests, so if your performance were poor in
one of these parts (e.g., 3/10), you could offset it by a good result in the
other part (i.e., 7/10 in this example), and eventually pass this round.
of course, we should pay attention to every particular call that we are
going to apply for, to check if some other conditions or pass-marks are
established.
on the other hand, the resources that you will have on your desk during the
exam, seeing the conditions of recent calls, are a physical calculator (apart
from the on-screen calculator usually provided), and a couple of laminated
sheets with erasable markers.

3. approach to numerical reasoning exercises
3. 1. overview
in general, with regard to numerical reasoning tests in open competitions
for the public administration as well as selection procedures for private
companies, we can find three main types of tests, according to the
following abilities that they measure:
mental calculation: the ability to calculate quicky using basic
arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, and
division), and also working with fractions and percentages.
data interpretation: the skill to read and analyse properly the
information provided in tables, charts and graphs, in a fast manner.
numerical reasoning (itself): the talent in combining the two previous
proficiencies, mental calculation and data interpretation, to answer
a question that, besides, requires our deductive thinking.
as we will see later, the most challenging issue of these tests is not the
difficulty of the calculations (we only need basic maths), but the time limit
