Since the majority of positions at PwC require handling and analysing numerical data, it is no wonder that almost every applicant to the company needs to complete the PwC online numerical reasoning test. This test is delivered in the early stages of the recruitment process and serves as a powerful sifting tool.
Candidates who successfully pass the PwC numerical test are usually asked to sit a written version of it at the assessment centre to vouch for their results. On this paper-based test, the use of a calculator is not always allowed. However, it is highly recommended to bring your own calculator with you in case you will have permission to use it.
The numerical test PwC uses is usually delivered by CEB’s SHL. On this test, you are presented with numerical data in the form of a table or a graph. You need to answer multiple choice questions relating to this data. To do that, you often need to perform calculations involving fractions, percentages, ratios, and conversions.
Some PwC applicants will be invited to sit a numerical test delivered by another assessment company called cut-e. This test is different than other numerical reasoning tests in its format, concepts, and question types. Learn more about cut-e’s numerical test.

Why Is It Important to Prepare for the PwC Numerical Test?
PwC is one of the most popular employers in the market, with numerous applicants competing for each open position. The numerical reasoning test PwC employs allows the company to sift through a large volume of candidates and choose only those with the best reasoning skills.
Getting through the test is not an easy task. Sure, taking a numerical reasoning test is never a walk in the park. Many people struggle with these type of tests, especially considering the strict time limits. But when it comes to the PwC numerical reasoning test, things are even harder, since your score is compared to that of the many other skilled candidates. This means you really have to be on top of your game to pass the test and make it to the next stage.
It is, thus, highly recommended that you prepare for the test in advance. Start by rehearsing the basic numerical concepts important for succeeding on PwC’s numerical test (percentages, ratios, fractions, conversions, etc.). Make sure you know how to quickly perform such operations using your calculator. Then, familiarise yourself with the format of the test by practising mock tests. Through practice, you can sharpen your data interpretation and reasoning skills and increase your speed. These will prompt a significant improvement in your score on the real test.
