Measures the ability to apply the basic rules of arithmetic to practical and work-related situations. This test is relevant to any job in industry or manufacturing where the appropriate application of basic arithmetic skills is important.

This test measures the ability to make inferences and deductions from numerical data laid out in the form of tables or graphs. The test is appropriate for any job involving analysis or decision-making based on numerical facts, but the nature of the data presented makes the test particularly relevant for sales and customer service work. Calculators are allowed. (NCC4 is longer and more demanding than NCC2.)

Measures the ability to understand and use numerical data presented in tables and graphs. The data and the questions have been designed to simulate the kind of numerical information which might feature in sales and customer service jobs. Calculators are permitted, since the emphasis is on reasoning with data rather than computation and arithmetic.

Measures basic number skills. The emphasis is on straightforward calculation and the understanding or arithmetical operations.

Assesses basic reasoning skill with numbers. Questions may involve decimals, fractions and graphs. Candidates need to use a calculator for NP6.2 but not for NP6.1.

Measures simple reasoning skills with numbers, with an emphasis on understanding, reasoning and recognising short-cuts to reach solutions. Since problems are expressed within the context of technical work, the test appropriately measures the numerical skills of trained staff. Calculators are allowed.

Measures basic numeracy, with an emphasis on understanding numerical relationships and operations as well as the ability to perform basic calculations. The proficient application of the four basic rules of arithmetic is essential. The use of calculators is not allowed.

Measures the ability to estimate quickly the answers to numerical calculations. Knowledge of fractions and percentages is required as well as that of basic arithmetic. The task is to select the best estimate from a number of options. Calculators are not allowed in this test.

Measures high level numerical reasoning skills rather than skill in computational work. In particular, it assesses the ability to recognise the relationships between numbers, therefore the test is appropriate for any IT job where the recognition of numerical relationships or sequences is important. Calculators are not allowed.
