Numerical Reasoning Test Preparation
Series Description: Are you applying for jobs or internships? No matter what subject you currently study, basic numeracy skills are essential for a wide range of graduate destinations, and many employers will require you to demonstrate those skills during the recruitment process, for example via a numerical reasoning test. This series is designed to give you the essential skills required, as well as helpful hints and tips for how to prepare for the tests.
Target Audience: These sessions are generally aimed at students who have done little or no maths in their degree, but who either:
- would like to improve their basic maths skills for the workplace (e.g. become confident interpreting graphs and percentages), or
- need to sit a numerical reasoning test as part of the recruitment process.
