How to pass numerical reasoning tests: a step-by-step guide to learning key numeracy skills (how to pass) - Rated
This book is rubbish it does not teach you a single thing and if I could give it 0 out of 5 I would. It's boring, confusing and doesnt explain anything clearly how it ever got printed is beyond me, don't waste your money.
Infuriating - Rated
It's not often I feel compelled to write a review of a book or anything else for that matter but, this book has infuriated me to such an extent that I feel I have to.
Are the questions representative of those you might find in a real numerical reasoning test? Yes.
Does the book have a reasonable number of practice questions? Yes.
Will this book help you pass a numerical reasoning test? No
Why??
The questions often try to catch you out which, ordinarily, is fine. However, the author over does this too such an extent that sometimes even they appear to be confused (as can be seen by their incorrect explanation of the answer). This is a problem because often in real tests you might only get 45 seconds or so per question and after reading this book you'll find yourself searching for things in real tests that simply don't exist. Another problem is the confusing way in which the questions are worded which, when combined with a smattering of incorrect answers and the aforementioned will have you screaming in no time!
I ran this book by a couple of my friends who both have masters' degrees in maths from Imperial College. They struggled even more than I did!! Could they do the maths? Yes. Could they make sense of this book? No. You've been warned.
Excellent book for reviewing your math skills. - Rated
I have been studying in university for quite a while but in my current subject area, I didn't have to solve mathematical questions. However, I was applying for jobs which also involve case studies and numerical reasoning tests. This book was very helpful, it explains calculating with big numbers, percentages, ratios, etc. In addition, you got some practice questions, as well. I would definitely recommend this book if you wanna brush up your math skills.
Learning the trade - Rated
If you havent touched any maths for years and require to polish your basic maths skills, this is the book. You can oil all them rusty questions and grey areas with this book.
If your facing an SHL numeric test for the first time, you may want to have a look at this as it has all the basic numerical functions. THIS BOOK DOES NOT HAVE SHL TYPE QUESTIONS.
Do not rely on this book if you have a graduate level test. Its only for basic's which its very good at.
