Mixed formatTyped + multiple choiceFree taster

Practice without the safety net

Multiple choice gives you five anchors and four eliminations. Typed answers give you nothing — you either produce the number or you don’t. Assessments built by Cappfinity (used by HSBC, Deloitte, KPMG and EY) mix both styles, and candidates who’ve only ever practised multiple choice feel the difference immediately.

Each set mixes roughly 60% type-the-answer with 40% multiple choice, instant feedback throughout. Typed answers are checked against the computed answer within the question’s own rounding tolerance — units and commas are forgiven, the number isn’t.

Common questions

Why practise typing answers instead of multiple choice?

Options are a safety net: you can eliminate, estimate and anchor. Typed answers test whether you can actually produce the number — which is exactly what mixed-format assessments like Cappfinity's measure, and why candidates find them harder than they expect.

Is this a Cappfinity simulator?

No, and be wary of anyone claiming to offer one — Cappfinity's scenario-based assessments can't be honestly cloned. What we replicate is the answer formats (typed + multiple choice) and the numeracy underneath, which is the trainable part.

How are typed answers marked?

Against the question's computed answer, within the same rounding tolerance the question was built with. Commas, currency symbols and units are accepted — the number is what's checked.
