To make your work more efficient, it’s important to know how to reduce your response time. The biggest problem with numerical aptitude tests is the rigorous time limits. The average time frame you have to answer each question is 45-75 seconds! But, if you plan out your calculations course to avoid repetitive steps, you will find yourself working much more efficiently. There are a few ways to do this. Using a common multiplier cuts down calculation time by a lot as you cover more ground at once. Ignoring multiplication factors when possible also increases efficiency by avoiding messy calculations.

Annoying that they just display calculations on the second question without explaining what they are.
You know, I understand the need to filter applications as there are so many candidates applying for the same job. But these tests really kill a lot of strong candidates. I am ready to bet that not even 10% of people in any Bulge Bracket Bank would be capable of achieving a score of 70% if they were given it unexpectedly on Monday.
Im in same boat bro, gona do it with mates and pray theres not an in house test. 70% is unrealistic and not fair, i done my education already
Totally agree. What especially annoys me is that with a lot of the jobs I’m currently applying for, they advertise that you can have “any degree of a 2:1 or higher to get a place on their graduate scheme” and then give you tests that completely destroy your chances of progressing to the next stage because you’ve done a course that doesn’t involve maths and therefore you haven’t done maths since GCSE/A-Level.
For example, I obtained a 2:1 History degree in July, a degree that opens up into many job avenues thanks to the analytical skills you gain, with one of the avenues I want to explore being accountancy.
I know I have the skills and potential to get onto an accountancy Graduate Scheme, but because I haven’t done maths since 2012 in my GCSE’s and have spent the past 3-4 years focusing a a degree the exact opposite of maths (in that there is no wrong answer with history), I’m fighting a sharply uphill battle that is requiring me to relearn things in maths I haven’t done in years. Fair enough if I don’t meet the criteria for the mathematical examinations they give me, but then don’t bloody advertise it as something that anyone from any degree background can get onto!
@@AhMrJIAssume Pretty obvious you'd need to be good at math for accountancy
Just practice doing these tests. You will get better. It is all about getting in the bell curve median for most employers, especially as you get more experienced.
@@AhMrJIAssume Accountancy is a pure numbers function. It is normal to test numerical reasoning and expect high scores for that role in a company, just like testing verbal reasoning is important for marketing and communications.
Almost exactly one year later and still no part 2 - Good one
don't write part 1 in your video title if you don't have a part 2
Katherine Holyfield at lest they make these great videos
Its not as helpful when the same numerical test you have to take doesn't allow calculators.
example 1:First questions you can see the difference is 70 so 70/250 times by 100 gives you 28percent I think its an easier way to do it
example 2:22,200*400*1.07 since it increased by 7percent then you read off the graph that it was 3 percent more so you find 3 percent which is multiply by 0.03 then you need know the contracts were reduced by 25percent so times by 0.75.
22,200*400*1.07*0.03*0.75
=213786
or you could do 100 d 250 which would be 0.4 then times that by the difference between the two numbers so 0.4 times 70 which equals to 28
Where did you all get 1.07? Shouldn’t it be 107?
1:56 Something that is confusing is 180/250 does not equal .28, it equals .72. Seems there was a step missed in the explanation?
The calculation was 1-(180/250) which does equal .28 . I do wish that they would have explained the calculations more thoroughly though.
DUDE infuriating. He says "Simple easy calculations" as if dividing 180 by 250 in your head or without a calculator is part and parcel. I'm so frustrated right now because I used to CRUSH these tests in school. Always in the 90 or 95 percentile. and now my future is depending on a fucking 15 minute timed test of this bullshit. That's not real world! god it's so annoying and this guys video is just pissing me off more
@@BlairBryngelson we're in the same boat. I just applied to my literal dream job and I have to answer 15 similar questions in 15 mins and I want to cry and bash my head into a wall because I haven't done a single math problem in forever and now they expect me to solve them in 45 secs
@@Kam59045 yep. Same. She said everything looks great on the test results but hasn't said shit since that email. Not feeling great
Blair Bryngelson I hope it goes out well for you!! I’m still waiting on their reply too!
First problem technique
In the first example he does the same as the second example, but in the opposite way.
1-(180/250) = 0.72
0.72 + 28 = 100%
answer = 0.28%
It can be used with every single calculation.
150/580 = 0.26 + 0.74 = 100% (how much plus 0.26 will be 100%? 0.74)
answer = 74%
Second problem:
25% of 400, he did 400 x 0.75, for those with calculation problems and did not understand...
long way:
400 * 25% = 10.000
10.000 / 100% = 100.
400 - 100 = 300.
Quicker way: Opposite way in regards to the first example.
100 - 25 = 75
400 * 0.75 = 300.
If it was 30%.
100 - 30 = 70
400 * 0.70 = 280.
It was 45% from 854.
100 - 45 = 55
854 * 0.55 = 469.7
I passed my elevator industry test. Thanks
One of the better vids out there
Don't understand the difference between the long n short way !! In the short way u must also calculate the percentage and the number of contacts same as the long way so where is the difference!! Any explain plz
Super helpful. Thanks for uploading.
never thought about it that way
Lol this is the ultimate “easier said then done”
I see your point! These tests can be quite intimidating. But preparation is key, and with time answering these questions becomes second nature :)
Especially when telling you to manage your time, reassess your answers and spend time thinking about the best approach. My guy, I have to complete 17 questions in 30 minutes.
I have never used M+ in my life and still don't know how, can you please make a video on the calculator part?
why are you taking away 1 in the first question?
Why the need to speak/run the video so fast if you're teaching. You could slow down the process a bit to make your teaching more effective
You must be slow. Also there is a pause button for a reason.
You are an idiot for coming across so rude though your response wasn't even required in the first place. My comment was directed towards jobtest prep and not ignorant people like you.
is question 2 right? it asks how much more money roads made. but roads has lower share than buildingo, so it seems the question is wronlgy put. ?
q2 maths = the market difference of contracts as a percentage which is 12% for 2008 and 9% for 2009 or in decimal is 0.12-0.09. Then multiply this by the updated contract price which is 22,200 + 7% aka 22,200 * 1.07 which gives 23754. then multiply this by the number of contracts which is 400 * 0.75 as there was a 25% decrease.
In short it is representing the market share of total contracts (this will always be less than 1 in this case as it is a percentage and none of the firms own 100%) * the price per contract * how many contracts there are total i.e. i own 0.03 (3%) of a total of 300 contracts worth 300 * 23754.
I hope this helps, maths was something I always struggled with and simple clarification can go A LONG WAY. Remember, a problem understood is a problem half solved. Good luck with the tests guys!
please how did you get 1-(180/250)=0.28=28% I don't get it ..please explain it to me better
Just do 180/250 = 0.72 (to get 100% its taken 28 away and that's your 28% answer) I think
@@shaifulamin5791 nice one.
is the same technique for the second problem.
to get the results of the percentages he does - 25% from 100% = 75, then he multiplies 400 per 0.75 = 300.
25% decrease from 400 is 300.
That's a quicker way that makes all the difference in a test.
100 - 25 = 75
400*0.75 = 300.
In this example he does the same, but with the opposite.
180/250 = 0.72 + 28 = 100.
answer = 0.28%
It can be used with every single calculation.
150/580 = 0.26 + 0.74 = 100
answer = 74%
@@renatosilva342Thank you sooooo much
Really helpful! Thanks.
where does 1- came from?
I guess it means minus 1 year for the year 2 to the year 1
Nothing special just ordinal tools to save time
where did 0.09 and 0.12 come from?
esthetic romanic 0.09 and 0.12 are the decimals of the % share e.g. 9% = 0.09
Ok, but still - why do you use these numbers? where that came from? We haven't these in the text

Hello I do not understand Example 2 can you please explain that to me? Thank you
Excellent video very helpful thanks
Thanks man!!
I haven't done real math since high school but because the UX/UI Design market is using them. Now since it been so long I have forgotten so much of these. When I did a practice test I felt dumb after 2mins of trying. And now I`m using shlsuccess site. Guys really doing their work well
Nope. too hard.
1,2,5,10,20_ 100,500,2000
where has 1.07 come from
1 means 100% (100 divided 100) and 0,07 means 7% (7 divided 100)
@@florenciachueke775 for the 25% decrease, why would we use 400x"0.75", I mean I get it you need 25 from 0.75 to reach 100 but not sure how that works
1.07 where from comes?
7% on the increase in contract value
@@codedaily409 could you explain why is 7% calculated in 1.07 format ?
@@damiendrignon4423 because 7% is equal to 0.07 and 100% is 1. So 1.07=107%. Times the number by 1.07 to give you the amount after a 7% increase.
Now do it without calculator, as required during must of the tests
