    Techniques in Numerical Reasoning Test

    For the purpose of reviewing better, Im going to share here some concepts of Math
    because like I said, you have to know the basics before you solve everything. I know I have
    to share these because this is an online reviewer in the first place. Reviewing is practice.
    Decimals:
    For Addition and Subtraction, it is very simple and easy. Just line up the given numbers
    though their decimal point. If it has no decimal point, put one or convert one. Put zeros to
    complement the numbers if needed.
    I remember there are many questions about decimals when I took the exam. Lots involve
    with multiplication and division. Same with fractions, I think I enjoyed that part so much
    because fractions are my thing.

    Examples:

    5.98 + 6 + = ______
    1.25 + 1.5 + 7.875 ______
    25 8.35 1.3 + _______

    For Multiplication, dont take it too hard because it is very simply too. Just multiply the
    numbers and count the decimal places to the right of the given numbers then move in that
    decimal (count) from the right answer to the left.

    Example: 3.05 x 1.4 =?

    For Division, you have to divide the classic way by making the divisor a whole number. You
    need to move the decimal place to the right to make it a whole number then do the same
    way with the dividend. Add zeros to the dividend if necessary. See example below.

    Example: 0.35 1.4 (0.35 is the dividend and 1.4 is the divisor here)

    Fractions:
    Some of the questions in Math and Quantitative Numerical Reasoning tests involve with
    fractions because they are also related to decimals, percent, mixed numbers and algebraic
    expressions. Again, if you master solving fractions, it will be a great edge for you.
    Addition and Subtraction of Fractions
    In this process, the easiest way is to always simplify the fractions by finding the LCD aka
    least common denominator, then apply the operation. If the result is improper fraction

    (numerator is bigger than denominator), simplify it too by giving the mixed number. Watch
    this helpful video.

    How to Multiply and Divide Fractions?
    To multiply fractions is easier. Just multiply both the numerator then multiply both the
    denominator. Simplify the product is you must.

    Example: x = 3/8

    To divide fractions, inverse the second fraction then we follow the rules in multiplication.
    You can also cross-multiply the given fractions.

    Example: How many 1/3s are there in ?

    Converting Fractions to Decimals and vice versa


    In converting fractions to decimals, just divide the numbers and round them off.

    Examples:

    1/3

    .333

    5/8

    .625

    7/8 = .875

    Another way is to find a number to multiply by the denominator to make it 10, 100 or 1000

    Example:

    Positive and Negative Numbers:


    Addition and Subtraction

    Positive + Positive = Positive

    Negative + Negative = Negative

    Positive + Negative = Subtract the two and use the sign of the bigger number

    Positive Negative = Change the sign of the Subtrahend and follow the rules of
    Addition

    Negative Negative = Change the sign of the Subtrahend and follow the rules of
    Addition

    Multiplication and Division:

    Multiplying and dividing numbers with similar sign equals Positive ( + x + = +) and ( x
    =+)

    Multiplying and dividing numbers with different signs equals Negative ( + x = ) and (
    x+=)

    Number Series and Sequence:


    There are also logical sequence and number series in this Math exam. Of course you have
    to find the next number from the pattern. You will know the right answers by applying the
    same method you used in a sequence to get the next number or the next.
    Examples:
    3,

    5,

    2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128

    7,

    9,

    11,
