Aon cut-e scales numerical practice

Aon's cut-e scales numerical test is unlike any other publisher's: instead of multiple-choice questions, you verify statements against data — True, False, or Cannot say — at a brutal pace of 37 statements in 12 minutes. It's used heavily by banks and financial firms, and candidates who walk in expecting SHL-style questions get caught cold.

The hardest part is 'Cannot say': learning to recognise when the data genuinely doesn't support a conclusion, in under 20 seconds, under pressure. This simulator runs statements in the real three-option format on the real ~19-second hard countdown.

How this simulator compares to the real test

We’d rather tell you exactly what matches than claim a perfect clone. 28 bank questions feed this simulator; the full version draws a fresh form every attempt.

What matches the real test
True / False / Cannot say — the real cut-e response format
~19 seconds per statement with hard auto-advance
Calculator allowed (as in the real test, though there's rarely time to use it)
What’s different
The real test presents one multi-tab dashboard (revenue, costs, stock…) that all statements refer to — wrong-tab time is part of its difficulty. Our statements each come with their own exhibit
The real run is 37 statements; ours is 20 at the same pace

Common questions

How long is the cut-e (Aon) numerical test?

The scales numerical test gives 12 minutes for 37 statements — about 19 seconds each. You verify each statement against data as True, False or Cannot say.

What does "Cannot say" mean in cut-e tests?

It means the data neither confirms nor contradicts the statement. Recognising when a conclusion simply isn't supported is the hardest skill in the test — most wrong answers come from over-concluding.

Can you use a calculator on cut-e tests?

Usually yes, but at 19 seconds per statement there is rarely time to use one. The test rewards fast data location across the dashboard's tabs.
