How to Pass HUMAN RESOURCES EMPLOYMENT ASSESSMENT TEST Questions and Answers with Solutions

it is almost guaranteed that you will get question like this on every test you're presented with the sequence of numbers and you need to determine the next number in the sequence in this case the numbers are 2 130 and the next number is missing can you determine what comes next in the sequence you're presented with four different choices choice choice 218 choice 220 and choice 222 might be good time to pause this video to see if you can come up with the answer give yourself 20 to 30 seconds that's about as much time as you get in the real test ready or not i'm moving forward so we can get to the correct solution together when dealing with sequence questions my recommendation to you is always look for patterns and to determine the answer in this case we need to use the pattern cube plus so it starts with the first number which is equal to and it was calculated as one cube plus one equals two next number was calculated as two cubed plus two equals ten the following number was calculated as three cubed plus three equals thirty then four cubed plus four equals sixty-eight five cubed plus 5 equals 130 which means that the missing number should be calculated as 6 cubed plus 6 and the result would be equal 222 so the correct answer here is choice hopefully you've nailed this question on your own and now know how to answer similar problems on the test here's cool question which tests your knowledge of percentages you're presented with the chart which shows average cryptocurrency price and question tells you that the chart shows the average price of cryptocurrency for each month from january to may and the question is what is the highest approximate percentage price increase between two consecutive months you're presented with four different choices choice sixty percent choice 70 choice 80 and then choice 90 give yourself 10 to 15 seconds maybe 20 to 30 seconds depending how well you are with calculations did you figure it out let's go ahead and get to the correct solution together this challenge we need to analyze the chart first and there are only two consecutive months with the price increases price goes up from january to february and then from february to march and price goes down from march to april and price goes down from april to may as well so let's look at two months with price increases closely between january and february price went up from ten dollars to fifteen dollars so the difference is fifteen minus ten equals 5. between february and march price went up from 15 to 27 so the price increase is calculated by subtracting 15 from 27 and the result is 12. let's calculate the percentage increase between january and february price increased by 50 this is calculated by dividing 5 by 10 and multiplying by 100 the end result of this is 50 between february and march price increased by 80 and this is calculated by dividing 12 to 15 and multiplying by 100 the end result of this calculation is 80 so the correct choice here is choice hopefully you've nailed this question and now know how to answer similar problems on the test here is an interesting question which validates how well you do planning of your day-to-day work mary spends one-third of her 24-hour day at work meetings take one-fourth of her work day how many hours does she spend in meetings you have 4 different choices choice 1 hour and 30 minutes choice 2 hours choice 2 hours and 30 minutes and choice 3 hours give yourself 10 to 15 seconds maybe bit longer depending how well you typically solve these types of problems ready or not let's go ahead and solve this challenge together as you might be well aware full day has 24 hours mary's working hours are very typical they represent one third of the full day which is eight hours and we calculated by multiplying 24 by one third or actually dividing 24 by three meetings take one fourth of her work day so to calculate how much time she spends in meetings we need to multiply 8 hours by 1 4 and the result is 2 hours so the correct answer is choice 2 hours hopefully you've nailed this question and now know how to answer similar problems in the test here's the cool problem which is easy to understand but might be little tricky to solve the box has 15 marbles of green yellow and orange colors there are seven times more of green marbles than yellow how many orange marbles does the box have you have four different choices choice five choice 7 choice 8 and choice 9. can you calculate the answer or guess it or find out give yourself 10 to 15 seconds to see if you can come up with the solution let's continue to see how we can get to the correct solution together interesting problem don't you think to solve this type of problems let's separate facts from the formulas we have two facts we have 15 total marbles and marbles are of three different colors green yellow and orange and the formula that we're presented with is that there are seven times more of yellow marbles than the green marbles how does it help us with this type of information we can easily build the calculations and we will base our calculation based off of yellow marbles the calculations will be yellow marbles plus seven multiplied by yellow marble plus orange marbles equals fifteen because 15 is relatively small number we can start guessing how many yellow marbles are in there our ability to solve this challenge is based off of the fact that there is very small number of total marbles if we can optimize this formula and simplify it we can come up with the formula that eight yellow marbles plus however many orange marbles equals fifteen so the question is how many yellow marbles can there be in total can there be two yellow marbles no because if we will multiply eight by two we will get to the total of sixteen marbles which is greater than the 15 which is the current total number of marbles based on this information the box cannot have more than one yellow marble and if there is only one yellow marble there is going to be seven green marbles because we already have formula that number of green marbles is calculated by multiplying seven to the number of yellow marbles so the only thing that's left is calculating how many orange marbles are out there and we can easily calculate it by using the formula 8 plus equals 15. so the is calculated by subtracting 8 from 15. the equals 7 the correct answer here then is choice 7. hopefully nailed this question and now know how to answer similar problems on the test here's the cool question variations of which we frequently see on the test young couple drove 1200 miles in three days during the honeymoon they drove three times more on the first day than on the last day and the same mileage on the second day as on the first and third days combined how many miles did they drive each day you have four different choices for the first second and third day you have choices of 400 and 200 choice 450 and 250 for choice you have 450 600 and 150 and for chosd you have 450 700 and 150 can you calculate the answer give yourself 10 to 15 seconds you can use piece of paper or you can do mental math now let's continue to see how we can get to the correct solution together 1200 miles together with your loving partner what could be the better time to spend anyway let's first look at the facts there are two facts that i'd like to point out fact number one in this problem is that on the third day they drove one third of the first day miles they probably got tired right and the second fact is on the second day they drove first day miles plus third day miles combined so what's interesting here can we base our calculations based off of the last day mileage and what mean by that is that can we use the third day miles as in the expression we're trying to build based on this information on the first day they drove three miles on the second day they drove 3x plus miles in total they drove 1200 miles so now we can build an expression 3x in parentheses 3x plus and then plus additional equals twelve hundred miles let's do the calculation for which also represents the third day equals twelve hundred divided by eight which is hundred fifty miles and this is how many miles they drove on the third day on the first day then they drove three multiplied by 150 which is an equivalent of 450 miles and on the second day they drove 450 plus 150 equals 600 miles so the correct choice here is choice on the first day 450 miles second day 600 miles and on the third day 150 miles the cool thing is that you didn't just get ready for the test but in case you have honeymoon coming up and are interested in three day driving trip and have couple good locations in mind you know how you would calculate the miles for your plant trap here's an interesting question you may need to know not just for the test but also if you're trying to rent the house five college students together rented house one of them decided to move out earlier and now their rent would be 260 dollars higher for each remaining tenant what is the cost of the total rent considering the rent is shared equally among students and you presented with four different choices choice five thousand two hundred dollars choice three 3120 choice 2 600 and choice give yourself 20 to 30 seconds maybe pause this video to see if you can come up with the answer on your own let's go ahead and solve this challenge together one of the easiest way to solve this challenge is to create formula let's start by defining variable and we will define this variable as which would represent an initial split trend for 5 students so using this formula we can calculate the total house rent as 5 multiplied by which means that after one student left the total house rent could also be calculated as four multiplied and then the value in parentheses plus 260 using both approaches we can create an expression five multiplied by equals four multiplied and then the value in parenthesis plus two hundred sixty dollars once we simplify it we'll get to the equation five minus 4s equals 1040. which means that the equals 1040. which represents initial one student trend to calculate total house rent we need to multiply five by one thousand forty dollars and the result will be five thousand two hundred dollars so the answer is choice five thousand two hundred dollars hopefully you've nailed this question and now know how to answer similar problems on the test and now it's your turn would like you to practice and try to answer this question on your own please analyze the question and post your answer as well as your rationale of how you did the calculations in the comments section of this video you're presented with two squares smaller square is inside the larger square both squares have numbers in the corners the larger square has numbers 15 11 32 and 23 the smaller square has numbers 22 13 5 and one number is missing and this is the number you need to calculate you have four different choices choice 1 choice 7 choice 12 and choice 17. do you see the pattern can you calculate the correct number please post your answer in the comments section of this video so can give you my feedback thank you for participating and good luck there is very high chance that you will see this type of question on the test you're presented with 3x3 matrix this matrix contains different shapes inside in our case the matrix contains triangles pentagons and cubes you have two spaces that are missing the shape and you need to select from four possible choices choices and do you see the solution give yourself 10 to 15 seconds maybe give yourself 20 to 30 seconds most likely you will not get any more time on the real test ready on that let's continue and get to the correct solution together to solve these types of challenges my advice to you is always look for patterns and there are multiple patterns present here in this particular challenge if you will detect and will use at least one of the patterns you will be able to find solution to this challenge the first patterns is that the shapes lines are in order 3 6 and 9 lines let me clarify triangle has three lines pentagon has five lines and cube has nine lines second pattern is that the small circle inside the shape alternatively rotates from being inside the shape to being outside of the shape and then the last but not the least pattern is that the black circle outside of the shape also changes its location so if you follow the pattern and look closely at the possible choices you will calculate that the correct answer to this challenge is choice hopefully nailed this question and now know how to answer similar problems on the test here's cool question which you frequently see on the test you're presented with two cubes one cube has side length equal one unit and second cube is larger cube and it has side length equals three units so the question is how many small cubes can fit into the large cube and you have four different choices choice 9 choice 18 choice 27 and choice d81 do you know the answer give yourself few moments to calculate it maybe 20 to 30 seconds this is about as much time as you get in the real test ready or not let's go ahead and get to the correct solution together to solve this challenge you need to visually imagine how many small cubes can fit into one side of the larger cube and the answer is that three small cubes can fit on each side of the large cube and since cube is three dimensional the number of small cubes that can fit into the large cube can be calculated using the formula three multiplied by 3 multiplied by 3 which is equal 3 cube that's where the word cube might be coming from which equals 27. since cube is 3 dimensional the number of small cubes that can fit into the large cube can be calculated using the formula 3 multiplied by 3 multiplied by 3 equals 3 cube equals 27 so the correct choice here is choice 27 hopefully you've nailed this question and now know how to answer similar problems on the test here's one of my favorite questions because it's easy to understand but might be challenging to solve you need to calculate question mark and you present it with the expression you need to calculate question mark and on the other side of the expression you have sixteen divided by four and multiplied on the value in parentheses three minus one you have four different choices to choose from choice eight choice two choice c4 and choice d1 do you think you can calculate the answer think again give yourself 10 to 15 seconds maybe 20 to 30 seconds you can pause this video to see if you can come up with the correct solution ready or not let's go ahead and continue so we can solve this challenge and get to the correct solution together as we all learned in school the correct order of operations in math is parentheses exponents multiplication and division and then addition and subtraction you can even use the acronym pemdas which reflects first letter from all of this operations based on this information the first step in the calculation would be subtracting one from three because these are the values in parenthesis and the result of this calculation is two the question is what are we going to do next we have choices of dividing 16 by 4 or multiplying 4 by 2 and the correct answer here is that we need to divide 16 by 4 as second step what pandas doesn't mention is that multiplication and division have equal priority and calculated from left to right and this is exactly the case for our expression 16 divided by 4 is on the left side of the expression and 4 multiplied by 2 is on the right side so the first thing we need to do is divide 16 by 4. the result of this calculation is 4 and in the last step we need to multiply it 4 by 2 and the result is 8. so the correct choice here is choice 8. hopefully you've nailed this question and now know how to answer similar problems on the test lot of times you might be presented with the pie chart questions on the test this is an example of this type of question you need to calculate petroleum consumption the ratio between natural gas petroleum coal nuclear power and renewables consumption is eight to six to four to three to 3. the total consumption of energy is 3 billion dollars so how much in u.s dollars was consumed in form of petroleum you're presented with four different choices choice 510 million choice 610 million choice 750 million and choice 600 million dollars do you see the answer do you know how to calculate these types of problems give yourself 10 to 15 seconds maybe 20 to 30 seconds to see if you can come up with the solution ready or not am going to go ahead and reveal the solution and the way to solve these types of problems on the test the best way to solve these types of challenges is to understand the relationship between the consumption ratio and total value of energy consumed in us dollars if we add up of all the units in the ratio we will get to the sum of 24 because 8 plus 6 plus 4 plus three and plus three equals twenty four our total consumption expense is three billion dollars but answers are presented in million dollars so we need to convert three billion dollars into million dollars which would be an equivalent of 3 000 million dollars petroleum represents 6 units out of 24 so the total consumption of petroleum can be calculated as 6 divided by 24 multiplied by 3 000 and we will get our answer as 0.25 multiplied by 3 000 which will equal 750 million so the correct choice here is choice 750 million dollars did you come up with the same answer if you know the better way to solve this challenge please make sure to post it in the comment section of this video here's an excellent problem that you frequently see on the test anna is four years older than her brother two years ago her brother's age was three-fourths of anna's age how old her brother will be in five years and you're presented with four different choices age 23 choice choice 19 and choice d18 give yourself 10 to 15 seconds you can either get yourself piece of paper or do mental calculations the problem is simple enough so you can get to the correct answer do you see the solution let's continue to see how we can get to the correct solution together the coolest thing about this problem is that it seems simple but in reality it deals with three moments in time it deals with today moment it deals with the moment of two years ago and it deals in the brothers age in five years moment as soon as we know either ana's or her brother's age at any moment of time we should be able to calculate brother's age in five years so let's go ahead and do the calculations in this problem we're dealing with one fact anna is four years older than her brother and this fact never changes so we can build formula ana's age equals her brother's age plus four we are also dealing with age specific difference at the moment of time for example we've learned that ana's brother's age was three-fourths of ana's age two years ago so let's do calculations for two years ago brother's age equals three-fourths of ana's age now let's use factual information about brother's age brother's age equals anna's age minus four and now we can create an equation based on ana's age in the moment of time two years ago ana's minus four based on the fact equals three-fourths of ana's age which means that ana's age minus three-fourths of ana's age equals four one-quarter of ana's age equals four and ana's age equals sixteen so two years ago anna was 16 years old and her brother was three-fourths of 16 12 years old now ana's brother is 2 years older which can be calculated as 12 plus 2 and equals 14 years old which means that in 5 years ana's brother will be 14 plus 5 19 years old so the correct answer here is choice 19 years old hopefully you've nailed this question and now know how to answer similar problems on the test here's the cool question which is frequently used on test you're presented with three expressions circle with the dot inside plus another circle plus another circle equals 48. in the second expression you add square plus circle and the result equaled 40 and in the third expression you divide square by the diamond and the result is equal to so you need to calculate the diamond you're presented with four different choices choice a6 choice b12 choice c18 and choice d24 can you do the math give yourself 10 to 15 seconds maybe 20 to 30 seconds depending how quickly you are with the math ready or not i'm moving forward i'm going to reveal you how to do the calculation and solve this particular problem if you think about it the symbols that are presented for this problem are no different to and that we so used to in math so let's look at the first expression from that standpoint you see that the value of circle can easily be calculated we do it by dividing 48 by 3 and the result is equal 16. so circle with the dot inside equals 16. in the next step we need to calculate the square square equals 40 minus the circle which equals 40 minus 16 and the result equals 24 and in the last step we need to calculate the diamond diamond equals square divided by 2 which equals 24 divided by 2 and the result equals 12. so the correct answer is choice 12. hopefully you've nailed this question on your own and now know how to answer similar problems on the test here is one of the frequently used questions to test your understanding of the percentages candidate is taking test so imagine yourself with 60 multiple choice questions and answered 60 of the first 20 questions correctly so far so what percent of the remaining questions does candidate need to answer correctly to get 70 percent rate on the test you're presented with four different choices choice sixty percent choice sixty-five percent choice seventy percent and choose seventy-five percent do you see the answer take close look and possibly get yourself piece of paper or use microsoft excel to do the calculations or maybe you can do all the calculations in your head that would be amazing give yourself 15 to 20 seconds this particular question might require lot of steps so give yourself some time and try to solve it ready or not am going to move forward and reveal the correct answer as well as the solution as already mentioned this is multi-tiered question and it requires you to do multiple calculations to get to the correct answer so the first calculation we would need to do is how many questions have already been answered correctly by the candidate and the answer is calculated by multiplying 20 questions by 60 so the answer is 12 questions have already been answered correctly so far by the candidate in the next phase we need to determine how many remaining questions need to be answered correctly to pass the test at 70 rate so if there are 60 questions total on the test and we need to pass it at 70 rate we will get to 42 questions that need to be answered correctly to get passing rate of 70 in the next phase we need to calculate how many remaining questions remain in the test to do this we need to subtract 20 from 60 and it tells us that 40 questions are still remaining now how many questions need to be answered correctly out of remaining questions to still get to 70 passing rate to calculate this we need to subtract 12 which is the number of questions we already answered correctly our first 20 questions answered from 42 and 42 minus 12 equals 30 which means that out of remaining 40 questions 30 questions need to be answered correctly to get to the 70 passing rate so the last calculation we need to do is to calculate what is the percentage of remaining questions we need to answer correctly to do this we need to divide 30 by 40 and multiply it by 100 which is an equivalent of 0.75 multiplied by 100 and the correct answer is choice do you know the better way to solve this challenge please share your thoughts in the comments section of this video and hope that you nailed this question and now know how to answer similar problems on the test lot of times you might get question which asks you to determine the sales increase you're typically presented with the graph which shows lines that represent different sales in our case we are represented with the chart that shows sales of cardio equipment from january to june sales of bikes represented by the blue line sales of elliptical represented by the orange line and sales of treadmills are represented by the gray line the question asks you to determine largest sales increase specifically you need to determine which period represents the largest one-month number of item sales increase for cardio equipment sales you have four different choices choice bikes from january to february choice bikes from february to march choice ellipticals march to april and choice treadmill made to june do you see the answer you may need to look closely to determine the correct answer for this question give yourself 5 to 10 seconds to see if you can come up with the right solution are you ready we're going to move forward and cover the answer for this problem and get to the solution together to answer this question we need to look at the graph closed for each data point on the graph we need to determine the actual value and once we have all the numbers we need to answer the question by looking at the differences for equipment sales from months to months specifically in this case you need to evaluate four different choices that are represented by answers through let's do it together based on the chart bike sales increased by two from january to february and the increase was from five to seven items sold bike sales also increased by two from seven to nine between february and march elliptical sales on the other hand increased by seven from march to april jumping from two to nine and treadmill sales increased by four between may and june going up from two to six so the correct answer here is choice elliptical sales from march to april because jump was by seven from two to nine hopefully nailed this question and now know how to answer similar problems in the test lot of times you get tested on your ability to analyze charts and graphs in this question we see pie chart which is broken down into two parts you see parts presented in the different colors white red blue gray and black and the question asks you how many cars let's read the question more carefully the pie chart shows the colors of the cars past traffic light in one hour period total of 250 cars passed the traffic light the number of white cars is represented by an angle of 90 degrees approximately how many white cars pass the traffic light you're presented with four different choices choice 57 choice 60 choice 63 and choice 67 take close look to see if you can come up with the answer do you see the answer let's continue to see how we can get to the correct solution and solve this challenge together lot of times answer given to you as part of the question and this is one of those cases pie chart is represented by 360 degree circle we know that 90 degree angle represents number of white cars past the traffic light and 90 degrees is quarter of 360. to do the calculations you need to divide 90 by 360 which is quarter or 0.25 we need to build the proportion to calculate the final value if total number of cars past the traffic light is 250 and it's represented by 360 degree circle to calculate the number of white cars passed we need to multiply 250 by 0.25 so the end result is 62.5 the closest value among the answers is 63. so the correct choice here is choice 63 hopefully you've nailed this question and now know how to answer similar problems on the test thanks for watching if you like the content please give us like and consider subscribing thank you for your endorsement
