Customer Reviews

Better than other similar titles
I had found the content of other numeracy testing books to be far too easy than is required in the actual tests. However, the level of this one is, as it promises, somewhat higher. Most people will probably need to spend some time brushing up their general maths and statistics before they attempt some sections but this book asks questions of a fairly similar level to those in real numeracy tests and so is well worth buying.

Sloppy editing makes this book a waste of money
On the first page of this book there is a warning that 'occasional errors can occur in a book of this kind'. Only when you try and use this book seriously do you realise what an understatement that is.

The frequency of errors (from simple typos to equations that don't add up) prevent this book from being a worthwhile purchase. You wouldnt expect it in the real exam, and nor should you expect it from a recognised publisher.

With proper editing, this book might be more deserving of your money

Good overall
This book is better that many comparable books on the market for graduate tests, however the graphs are small and very difficult to read and some of the answers to the questions are blatantly wrong (they were checked by several maths tutors) which can be very off putting.

Overall, worth buying to practice for, but tread carefully!
