I owe thanks to Carla Valerio-Chapperon, Miriam Walfisz and Ed Hateley for
contributing many practice questions and checking answers. Their
contributions make the title a far better book and I trust more valuable as a
source of practice. The views expressed and any errors are entirely my own.
1 Part 1
Psychometric tests and practice
3 1 Demonstrate your true potential How this book will help This book
provides highly relevant practice questions and explanations that will help
candidates prepare for psychometric tests of numerical skills. Many readers of
the existing Kogan Page list of testing books have requested more practice
numerical questions and more challenging material than is currently available.
In response, this title offers many hundreds of new questions, including four
realistic mock tests relevant to numerical skills tests used by employers and
educational institutions today. Like a real test, each chapter starts with easier
questions that get progressively harder. Again, in response to readers’
requests, many more detailed explanations to answers have been provided.
4 Psychometric tests and practice
The challenge of numerical tests Employers’ numerical tests represent a
considerable challenge to candidates who have specialized in numerical
disciplines, let alone those who have not. Often accomplished individuals may
not have practised their numerical skills for some years and need to revise
them if they are to present themselves as the all-round candidate who
possesses both numerical and verbal competencies. Even if you feel confident
with your numerical skills, these exercises will help you to achieve, as
psychometric tests are used to recruit to many top jobs, careers and
professions and there is considerable competition amongst many candidates.
You have to be at your very best if you are to succeed in your chosen career,
