How To Use This Document
General Information
This document is designed to support you in preparing for your online numerical reasoning
assessment.
It provides an overview of the assessment explaining what it measures and how it works.
It also provides 5 practice questions. After these practice questions, solutions and rationale have
been provided to help you gain a deeper understanding. We would encourage you to attempt all the
practice questions without looking at the solutions first.
How Does The Numerical Reasoning Assessment Work?
You are presented with multiple data sheets providing information
in a numerical form. You are also presented with a series of
statements. Your task is to evaluate these statements based on
the information on the data sheets.
The information on the data sheets will not change during the test
and each statement relates to only one data sheet. You need to
find and refer to that data sheet.
Every statement has three answer options: TRUE, FALSE and
CANNOT SAY. There is only one correct answer. You can navigate
through the different statements but it is recommended to work on
the tasks in the predefined order.
The test is preceded by specific examples to help you understand
the system. Before you start the test, make sure you have a pen
and paper as well as a calculator to hand.
Guidance for the Practice Questions
The actual assessment you will take is timed, but you are not expected to answer all the questions –
you just need to work quickly and accurately, to try to get as many correct as possible in the time
provided. As such, there is no specific time limit in the practice tests. Try to focus and complete
them quickly in a single session.
You should write down your answers as you work through, so that you can compare your answers to
the solutions at the end.
In the actual assessment there will be several data sheets you will need refer to. During the time
limit, you are likely to become familiar with the different sheets and know which are useful when.
For the purposes of these practice questions, you have been provided with the data sheet that the
statement refers to.
To continue to practice, spend time trying to interpret tables and charts. You may wish to spend
more time reviewing the example data provided here and asking yourself what it can tell you, and
what it can’t tell you.
Numerical Reasoning
Aon’s Numerical Reasoning
assessment measures your
aptitude for numerical
reasoning. It measures your
ability to analyse and
understand numerical
information and evaluate the
truthfulness of statements on
the basis of the given data.
In the assessment, you will
receive instructions along with
some example questions that
you can take as many times as
you like before you start the
actual assessment.
