Questionário temático 1: How numerical reasoning tests work

  1. Pergunta 1 de 15

    You start a question that shows a table and asks about one region in one month. What should you do first?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: D. Read the question closely and note exactly what it asks for

    Most mistakes come from answering a different question. Note the row, column, units and rounding asked for before you calculate.

  2. Pergunta 2 de 15

    Without a calculator, which is the best estimate of 498 × 21?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: D. 10,000

    Round to easy numbers: 500 × 20 = 10,000. The exact answer is 10,458, so 10,000 is closest.

  3. Pergunta 3 de 15

    A table is titled "Sales ($ thousands)". The cell for the East region shows 245. What were East sales in dollars?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: C. $245,000

    In a table "in thousands", multiply each figure by 1,000: 245 × 1,000 = $245,000.

  4. Pergunta 4 de 15

    A practice test has 24 questions and a 20-minute time limit. On average, how much time do you have for each question?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: A. 50 seconds

    Change minutes to seconds and divide: 20 × 60 = 1,200 seconds; 1,200 ÷ 24 = 50 seconds. 72 seconds comes from dividing the wrong way (24 × 60 ÷ 20). 20 ÷ 24 = 0.83 minutes, which is 50 seconds, not 83 seconds.

  5. Pergunta 5 de 15

    Your working gives a decimal of 0.12. The options are shown as percentages. Which option matches?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: B. 12%

    To change a decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100: 0.12 × 100 = 12%.

  6. Pergunta 6 de 15

    The question says "round to the nearest whole percent". You calculate 17.46%. Which answer should you choose?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: B. 17%

    To the nearest whole percent, look at the first decimal place: 4 is less than 5, so 17.46% rounds down to 17%.

  7. Pergunta 7 de 15

    You are stuck on a hard question and the timer is running. What is usually the best thing to do?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: C. Pick your best estimate, mark it if you can, and move on

    Do not let one hard question use time you need for several easier ones. Choose your best estimate, mark the question if the test allows it, and come back if time is left.

  8. Pergunta 8 de 15

    Which is the best quick estimate of 19.8% of $50,120?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: D. $10,000

    19.8% is about 20% and $50,120 is about $50,000. 20% of $50,000 = $10,000. The exact answer is $9,923.76.

  9. Pergunta 9 de 15

    Which is the best estimate of 3,987 ÷ 41?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: C. 100

    Round both numbers: 4,000 ÷ 40 = 100. The exact answer is about 97.2.

  10. Pergunta 10 de 15

    Your answer is not one of the options. What is the best next step?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: C. Check the figures, units and operation you used, then recalculate

    Options are often built from common mistakes. If your answer is missing, you probably used a wrong figure, unit or step, so check your working.

  11. Pergunta 11 de 15

    Before you use a table or chart, what should you check?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: D. Its title, labels, units and any notes

    A good table or chart has a title and labels. These tell you what the numbers mean and in what units.

  12. Pergunta 12 de 15

    Sales rose from $8,200 to $8,610. Which percentage increase is correct?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: A. 5%

    The increase is $410. Divide by the starting value: 410 ÷ 8,200 × 100 = 5%. 4.8% comes from dividing by the new value instead.

  13. Pergunta 13 de 15

    Sales went from 200 units to 250 units. Someone says the percentage change is 125%. What mistake did they make?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: B. They divided new by old and did not subtract 100%

    250 ÷ 200 = 1.25, or 125%. This shows the new value as a percentage of the old one. The change is 125% − 100% = 25%.

  14. Pergunta 14 de 15

    Why should you avoid rounding in the middle of a calculation with several steps?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: A. Small rounding errors can add up to a wrong answer

    Keep full values until the last step, then round once, as the question asks. Early rounding can push you to a wrong option.

  15. Pergunta 15 de 15

    A question asks for the answer "in hours and minutes". Your working gives 3.5 hours. Which option should you choose?
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: A. 3 hours 30 minutes

    0.5 of an hour is half of 60 minutes, which is 30 minutes. Always give the answer in the form the question asks for.

  • The Public Service Commission of Canada advises candidates in written tests to read each question carefully, manage their time and leave time to review their answers.
  • In the Public Service Commission's online tests, an on-screen timer shows the time left, and the test closes when the time is up.
  • In those online tests, you can mark questions for review; marking a question does not affect your score.

Perguntas frequentes

What is the Certificate of Completion, and what is it not?

It shows that you finished this course and scored at least 80% on the final assessment. It is not an accredited qualification, an employer's test result or a score from any test publisher.

Are these questions from real employer tests?

No. Every question was written for this course to practise the same kinds of skills. Real tests differ between employers, so read your invitation and instructions carefully.

How does the final assessment work?

It has 30 questions drawn at random from the course question bank, with a 30-minute time limit. You need 80% to pass, and each attempt gives a new mix of questions.

Can I use a calculator?

Use whatever your real test allows. Some tests allow a calculator and some do not, so it is good practice to estimate first and then work out the answer.

How should I practise?

Read one lesson, take its untimed topic quiz and read the explanations for anything you got wrong. When you score well on all five topics, try the timed final assessment.

O certificado é acreditado ou reconhecido oficialmente?

Não. É um certificado de conclusão privado, apenas para o seu conhecimento. Não é reconhecido, acreditado nem aprovado por nenhum governo, entidade licenciadora, regulador ou instituição de ensino e não substitui qualquer licença, certificação ou formação exigida por lei.
