What Does the Number Path Test Assess?

Number Path is a game-based test of numerical reasoning. Candidates start from one number and must land exactly on a target number by choosing an operation (add, subtract, multiply or divide) at each step. It rewards quick, accurate mental arithmetic and planning ahead, in a format candidates enjoy.

• - Mental arithmetic: Working quickly and accurately with the four operations.
• - Planning ahead: Thinking several steps forward to find a path that lands exactly on the target.
• - Checking and correcting: Spotting a wrong turn and finding a better route on the next attempt.

Who Should Take This Test?

Number Path is designed for entry-level to graduate roles, especially where working with numbers matters:

• - Graduates
• - Apprentices and school leavers
• - Customer service and operational roles
• - Finance and administration roles

How to Do Well in Your Number Path Test

• Work backwards: Look at the target first and ask which operation would get you there on the last step.
• Keep it simple: Small, exact steps are safer than big jumps.
• Use your attempts: If a route fails, start again with a different first step.
• Keep moving: Questions are timed, so do not spend too long on one.
