Reviews

Rated 4.8 out of 5 across 9 reviews. A selection:

Challenging

I liked the fact that there was a variety of multiple-choice questions that were intermediate and challenging.

One should understand the percentage and ratios

I like how this test was more towards numbers but in all the questions it's just that it could be so much more.

Need a better calculator, work faster

Need to have a hand held calculator; might be worth computing sums to save time in other questions; need to be confident with ratios (1:x)
