J.P. Morgan screens most graduates with behavioural games, not a classic numerical test.
J.P. Morgan does not use a classic numerical reasoning test for most student and graduate programmes. Screening is a pymetrics-style suite of about 12 short behavioural games (20–30 minutes) measuring attributes like decision-making and risk tolerance, followed by a HireVue video interview. Numeracy still matters — it shows up later in technical questions and superdays — but there is no SHL-style test to cram for.
There’s no test to cram — but sharp mental arithmetic pays off in the games and every later stage. Find your baseline first.

J.P. Morgan is reported to use behavioural games and a video interview rather than a classic numerical reasoning test for most graduate roles. Student/graduate programmes globally; some markets and lateral roles differ.
The games measure attributes rather than learned knowledge, so there's little to cram. Sharp mental arithmetic still helps — both in the games' numerical moments and in later interview stages.
