Numerical Skills Test
(25 items, 20 minutes)
Some Numerical Skills questions present basic math problems directly and measure your ability to perform the necessary arithmetic operations. Other questions are presented as short story problems that require you to figure out how to solve the problem before performing the necessary arithmetic operations. All of the questions are multiple-choice with five alternative answer choices, the last of which may be "Not Given." The test assesses your mathematics skills in the following areas.
- Arithmetic Operations. Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing using whole numbers, decimals, and fractions.
- Arithmetic Problem-Solving. Reading a story problem, identifying the arithmetic problem, selecting the appropriate strategy to solve the problem, and performing the necessary operations.
- Multiple Arithmetic Operations and Logical Progressions. Performing several operations in a logical or appropriate order, as well as solving whole number problems using combinations of the four basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).
| Numerical Skills Sample Questions Directions: You are to choose the correct answer for each question. For some questions, the fifth answer choice will be "Not Given." You should mark this choice as your answer if none of the first four possible answer choices is correct.
