Basic Math Skills I / Arithmetic Aptitude Test

Pre-Employment Test

Purpose: This test measures skill in five areas of basic math using whole numbers: adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, and using arithmetic to solve simple work-related word problems.

The test points out 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.

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