We recommend using this for any position where you need to know employees’ level of math skills and areas of deficit.

About the Test: This untimed test consists of five problems in six sections, for a total of 30 questions. The report provides an overall score for all 30 problems, as well as separate scores for the six topic areas: Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying, Dividing, Conversion to Fractions, and “Which is Larger?”

When to Use It: The Basic Math Skills II – Decimals test should be used where employees need to be competent in basic math on their jobs. The test points up areas of deficiency that could be remediated by targeted training on the job. We believe that even though most jobs allow use of calculators, people who cannot do simple math in their head or by hand calculations will make a lot more mistakes when using calculators. Therefore, we advise against allowing candidates to use calculators for this test.
