Numerical and Verbal Reasoning Tests - Numerical and Verbal Aptitude Tests

There is no strict guidelines to the evaluation of the test results. The test administrator can use our table below or they can use their own. These scores should be used just as an indication of the test takers numerical and verbal abilities. The test results should be a part of the recruitment process and not be a decisive factor on its own. The test taker might also score better in numerical reasoning tests than verbal reasoning tests. Once again it is up the test administrator to decide if this would be a problem when trying to find the perfect candidate for a vacancy. It really all depends on the vacancy that the test administrator is trying to fill. If numerical skills are key and verbal skills are not equally important then the test result of the verbal test doesn't have to carry as much weight in the decision to hire someone or not. As mentioned before, tests like these should be used as part of the recruitment process and not be a decisive factor on its own.

Score	Interpretation
21 - 25	Very good. The test taker has very good reasoning skills and is in general very fast in doing calculations and analyzing text. Excellent.
18 - 21	Good. The test taker has good reasoning skills and is in general very fast in doing calculations and analyzing text. The test taker is doing very well.
15 - 18	Good. The test taker has good reasoning skills and is in general fairly fast in doing calculations and analyzing text. Most test takers would fall in this category.
10 - 15	OK especially if scoring closer to 14. The test taker has ok reasoning skills and is in general fairly fast in doing calculations and analyzing text. The result is though not especially strong and the administrator has to look at the applicants other credentials before making up their mind.
0 - 10	The score is poor and indicates that the candidate is not very strong numerically or verbally depending on the test taken. It is up to the test administrator to decide if a poor score is a problem or not. A poor score in both numerical and verbal reasoning tests should be though taken into account when making that final decision to hire or not.

Taking the Test

Taking the test is easy and the tests can be accessed whenever the client wants to. The first thing to do is to have a computer with internet preferably in a quiet area. This will allow the test taker to concentrate on the test and not on the distractions surrounding him/her. The test taker should not use a calculator unless the administrator specifically wants them to use one. The test taker should be allowed to relax for a moment before taking the test.

When they are ready the administrator can log into the test that they choose and once logged in the test taker should type in their name and press BEGIN. The test will give you a notice that it is about to start and that you have 22 minutes time to answer as many questions as you can. When you press OK the test will start and so does the timer. The timer can be seen at

the bottom left on the status bar. The timer can not be stopped so it is important that the test taker is allowed the full 22 minutes to go through the answers.

When the test taker has answered a question they should press NEXT to get to the next question. When the test taker comes to the 25th question (which is the last one) they can either press BACK to go back to questions that they might have left without an answer or that they would like to check one more time. If the test taker does not want to go back or if they have finished their test, then they can press SUBMIT. Once they have pressed SUBMIT the test ends and it is no longer possible to go back to the questions. The test takes you automatically to the results page where you can see the questions and the correct and the wrong answers that the test taker gave. The results page can be printed if the administrator so wishes. This same process applies to both numerical and verbal reasoning tests.
