As the title says, did the numerical reasoning test last week as part of the Taxation competition.
Scratchpad is to forget, opening mine there was nowhere to write on it, they were only showing some indications how to copy/paste text, why???
Calculator does not allow to memorize any previous calculation.
Without the possibility of not having some pen and paper in the applicant desk, it is impossible to have 10 out of 10.
Any that manages it, relied on pure luck to answer the most complex questions.
Also frustrating that one cannot use the unspent time from the other reasoning tests to have some more seconds in this one or vice-versa.
The calculator was also available during the abstract reasoning test (for no reason...), it was not available during the versal reasoning test.
A lot to improve...
Hello, to be honest the
Hello, to be honest the scatchpad worked. I did not find it user-friendly. I highlighted a word and then I clicked on the blue "icon" that would appear on top of the highlighted text. Then a small box would appear that you could write. Do you think your computer software had something to do with this?
To be honest I did not had time to answer all of numerical questions and I think i did not pass in general but this is another story. Let's hope to prepare better for the next one - Generalists.
Hello, We are sorry to hear
Hello, We are sorry to hear that you experienced difficulties using the scratchpad and calculator during the test It may be worth it, to share your feedback directly with EPSO, as raising awareness of these issues—especially if a lot of candidates report it, than it could encourage EPSO to take action with TestWe to enhance the overall testing experience.

You need to train a lot. I did terribly on the numerical of the Economist exam that was cancelled in 2023, I only managed to solve three exercises before time ran out. Then I trained daily for a year and scored 9/10 in the Statistics competition. I even had a spare minute to review. Training is key.
