Got through the initial scenario online test with a good score. Then came the numerical test (failed by time) which is not overly difficult, however, if you have not done a maths related degree I suggest you revise your maths skills. The questions require a lot of interpreting graphs in a short space of time (20 questions in 20 minutes. The test particularly requires calculating percentages, percentage increases and compound interest using different methods and requiring lots of conversion. The practice tests they suggest you use for the numerical tests is nowhere near the difficulty in the actual test.
