About this site

Numerical Reasoning Practice is built by Cognivy, a small independent team making honest practice tools for cognitive assessments. Our sister site covers matrix (non-verbal) reasoning; this one covers the numerical tests used in hiring.

How the questions are made

Every question on this site is generated by a deterministic engine and machine-verified: the correct answer is computed from the question’s own data, never stored by hand, so a keying error can’t slip through. Wrong-answer options aren’t random — each encodes a specific, named mistake (like using the new value as the base of a percentage change), which is why our feedback can tell you what went wrong, not just that something did.

The honesty rules

Test preparation is full of invented statistics. We hold ourselves to stricter rules: percentiles are only reported against a clearly labelled baseline with a visible sample size; we never claim a simulator is the real test — our provider pages state exactly what matches (format, timing, calculator policy) and what doesn’t; and when our free diagnostic can’t support a precise claim, we label the estimate as an estimate. The full method is on how scoring works.

What’s free and what’s paid

The first test is always free, with no signup. A free account adds your full breakdown and daily practice. One lifetime payment — no subscription — unlocks the full bank, all simulators and mocks. We don’t run ads and we don’t sell data; the product is the business.
