UBS Numerical Reasoning Test: Format & Practice
UBS is reported to use Aon cut-e scales numerical for numerical screening.
UBS moved its numerical screening to Aon (cut-e) for recent cycles — previously Korn Ferry ran it, so older guides disagree. Expect the scales numerical format: 37 statements against multi-tab data in 12 minutes, answered True, False or Cannot say at roughly 19 seconds each.

Common questions
Which test does UBS use for numerical reasoning?
UBS is reported to use Aon cut-e scales numerical. Graduate and intern programmes; check your invitation, as the provider changed recently.
Can you use a calculator on the UBS test?
Yes — Aon cut-e scales numerical allows a calculator. At roughly 19 seconds per question, fast data location matters more than computation.
How much time do you get per question?
Aon cut-e scales numerical gives roughly 19 seconds per question (extreme speed (37 statements / 12 min)). Pacing — not maths — is what fails most candidates, which is why format-matched timed practice helps so much.
Are there answers to the UBS numerical reasoning test?
The real UBS items are confidential and rotate between sittings, so any circulating "answer key" is for a retired or invented form. What transfers is practising the same format with full worked answers — every question here shows the method and the named mistake behind each option, not just the letter.
