Barclays is reported to use SHL Verify (Numerical) for numerical screening.
Barclays runs its online assessment through SHL. Recent graduate cycles have used the newer Verify Interactive variant — drag-and-drop data interaction mixed with classic multiple-choice numerical questions on percentages, ratios and chart reading — so expect SHL-style data interpretation either way.
