Numerical Sprint — 10 MinutesBusiness arithmetic against a ten-minute clock — accuracy when there is no time to check.
Twenty one-step business calculations — percentages, discounts, growth, ratios, rates and estimation — in a deliberately tight ten minutes. Scored on Numerical Reasoning and Cognitive Speed, with a banded report that separates the candidates who were slow from those who were wrong.
More items than most finish, so accuracy under pressure is what shows
Every item is a single step with realistic business numbers: a percentage of a stated amount, a priced item marked down by a stated discount, a team that grows by a tenth, crates times items per crate. None needs paper. What makes the test hard is that there are 20 of them in ten minutes, which most candidates do not finish, so the score reflects how many you get right at pace rather than how far you can reason. That is the skill a sales desk, a store floor or a finance operations queue actually calls on.
The 20 items are original and built on realistic figures, with one derivable key each. The distractors model the specific slips a rushed candidate makes — the discount amount given instead of the sale price, the growth added to the wrong base, a multiplication off by a place — and never random values, so a hurried guess rarely lands. Unanswered items score nothing, as do wrong answers, so there is no penalty for skipping and no reward for guessing; the honest strategy and the measured skill are the same thing.
The report scores Numerical Reasoning and Cognitive Speed from their own tagged items and bands each with a coaching interpretation, so accurate-but-slow and fast-but-careless come back as different profiles. All 20 items are reviewed with the working — including those you never reached — which turns ten minutes of testing into a full set of worked business arithmetic. The growth plan targets the weaker competency and can be practised in minutes a day.
What you walk away with
Numerical Reasoning and Cognitive Speed are banded independently with a coaching interpretation each, so a candidate knows whether to practise the arithmetic or the pace, and a hiring team knows which they are looking at.
An overall 0–100 score with an Emerging, Developing, Strong or Exceptional band gives a volume funnel a one-line read on each applicant and a candidate a benchmark to beat after working the growth plan.
Every item returns with your choice, the key, the calculation and the slip each distractor represents — including the items left unanswered — so the review covers the whole sprint rather than only the part you reached.
Strengths and development areas are drawn from your own responses, and the plan targets the lower of the two competencies with short, repeatable practice — appropriate for a test that takes ten minutes to sit.
Inside your report

Frequently asked questions
Accuracy in everyday business arithmetic under time pressure: 20 one-step items on percentages, discounts, growth, ratios, rates and estimation in ten minutes, scored on Numerical Reasoning and Cognitive Speed. It is for job-seekers warming up before a timed round, hiring teams adding a short numeracy gate to retail, sales and operations funnels, and anyone who wants to know how their arithmetic holds when there is no time to check.
Most candidates do not, and the test is built that way. Unanswered items score nothing and so do wrong answers, so guessing carries no penalty but rarely pays — the distractors are the slips a rushed candidate makes, not random numbers. Work accurately through as many as you can and skip anything that stalls you. The report then shows whether your limit was pace or precision.
A complete competency report, generated immediately: an overall 0–100 score with a band, banded bars for Numerical Reasoning and Cognitive Speed with a coaching interpretation each, a radar, a personalised narrative, strengths and development areas, a growth plan and a review of all 20 items with the working shown — including items you did not reach. Everything is included in the listed price; there is nothing further to unlock.
Hiring teams use it as an early gate in a high-volume funnel, applying one band threshold to every applicant and then following up shortlisted candidates with a longer power test or a judgement test. Candidates retake by design: work the growth plan for a week or two, sit it again and see whether the speed or accuracy band moves. There is no pass mark; the bands do the comparing.
The arithmetic is universal and the items use generic business settings, so the sprint works for candidates and employers anywhere; the report is written in plain international English. It is priced in INR and USD, with the live price for each shown on this page, so a candidate abroad or a global hiring team pays in whichever currency suits them.
Numerical, verbal, logical, abstract, spatial, data and workplace-judgment banks — each an original item bank with every rule stated in the explanation, scored per competency and reported with a banded profile and a growth plan. Sit one, or build a battery from several.
