What the Advanced Numerical Reasoning Test measures
The Advanced Numerical Reasoning Test measures higher-level numerical reasoning under time pressure. It is used in competitive recruitment for roles where decisions rely on quantitative judgement, such as consulting, finance, law, operations and leadership.
Analysing patterns
Identifying and extending number sequences by finding the underlying rule.
Ratio and mixture problems
Working with proportions and adjusting quantities to reach a target ratio or outcome.
Quantitative deduction
Allocating budgets or amounts that meet several constraints at once.
Why organisations choose Viewpoint ability tests
Fair and objective
Every candidate takes the same test, scored the same way, so decisions rest on evidence rather than impressions.
Candidates know what to expect
Clear instructions and example questions come before the test starts, so nobody is caught out by the format.
Reports you can act on
Clear results and score bands from Very Low to Very High, ready for shortlisting or a feedback conversation.
Fits your process
Use it to screen applicants early, to shortlist, or to add objective evidence at the final stage.
Reports that do the work for you
The report gives the candidate's score and time taken, with brief guidance on how advanced numerical reasoning supports decision-making, problem solving and evidence-based judgement at work.

Classify each question quickly
Decide whether it is a sequence, a ratio or an allocation; that points you to the right method.
Use parts and simple checks
Convert ratios to parts, keep your working tidy and check the final ratio or total matches exactly.
Pace yourself
If you can't see a route within about 40 to 50 seconds, make your best judgement and move on.
