SHL Numeric Assessment Practice Questions

 

SHL numeric assessments are designed to test your ability to analyze and interpret data presented in various formats, typically involving:

• Charts and graphs: Understanding trends, relationships, and key values.
• Tables and spreadsheets: Performing calculations, extracting information, and making comparisons.
• Descriptive text: Interpreting data presented in narratives or reports.
• Logical reasoning: Applying data to solve problems and make decisions.

Here are some sample practice questions to give you a taste of what to expect:

1. Data interpretation:

A table shows the sales figures for three different products in each of four quarters. What was the percentage increase in sales for product B from Q1 to Q4?

2. Calculations with charts:

A line graph shows the change in customer satisfaction over time. Based on the graph, estimate the customer satisfaction level at the end of the year.

3. Problem solving with data:

A company needs to hire staff for two teams with different ratios of senior to junior staff. Using the given ratios and total headcount requirement, calculate the number of senior and junior staff needed for each team.

4. Reasoning with statistics:

Two companies have different average employee ages. Based on the provided information, determine which company is likely to have a higher turnover rate.

5. Data extraction from text:

A paragraph describes a marketing campaign's results. Identify the key performance indicators (KPIs) mentioned and their respective values.

Bonus tips for SHL numeric assessments:

• Read the instructions carefully: Understand what each question asks and what information is provided.
• Work efficiently: Manage your time effectively and prioritize questions based on difficulty.
• Show your work: Clearly demonstrate your calculations and reasoning to earn partial credit even if your final answer is incorrect.
• Use estimation: Don't get bogged down in exact calculations; sometimes, approximations can be sufficient.
• Stay calm and focused: Don't panic if you encounter a challenging question. Take your time and approach it systematically.

Remember, these are just a few examples to give you a general idea of what to expect. The actual questions on your SHL assessment may vary depending on the specific job or program you are applying for.
