Numerical reasoning tests

How difficult do you find the numerical reasoning tests here?
Am I the only one who can not answer more than 50% correct within the exam time? Does anybody know whether the difficulty level is approximately the same at the actual exam? Not that the questions are so impossible to answer. I just simply find it impossible to do all the needed calculations for 10 questions within 22 mins.
Thanks for the comments.

I find it difficult too due to the time, I can answer 7 or 8. But is the time in the real exam 22 minutes or just 20? In the past we had 20 minutes, have they changed it?

Numerical reasoning does not count to the final score so all you need to do is reach the passmark which depending on your profile is either 4 or 5 correct.
As for time I think correct one should be 20 min

No it is a mistake of the website. Verbal is 35 , Numerical 20, Abstract 10 min.

Yes, I also noticed that timing was weird. I don't understand why it does not match exactly the timing of the actual exam. This is supposed to be an actual simulation right?

Hello there,

I agree the numerical reasoning questions on this site are (very) difficult, but I would advise you to keep practising here. It really helped me to be that well prepared. If you can't do more than 50% in the time given, keep practising! Practise is all that really helps.

I did not have problems with the timing. 10 questions/20 min.

Also check your notice of competition to be sure whether numerical reasoning counts towards the result or it is enough to just have 40 or 50% of the total to pass. It is different in different competitions.
