Math: Fractions

Intellectual

Solve fraction arithmetic problems — addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions.

~6 min

Overview

The Fraction Math test measures your ability to manipulate fractions under time pressure. You will be presented with a wide variety of fraction problems — addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, gap-fill questions and an inverse-square question type. The test is commonly used in pilot selection assessments to evaluate intellectual capacity in symbolic arithmetic.

Assessments

Tested in assessments at KLM.

Could show up in Schuhfried, cut-e / Aon, COMPASS, DLR, ADAPT, PILAPT and SHL-based selections.

Example: add the fractions

You are shown a fraction problem. Find a common denominator, combine, simplify, and pick the matching value. Exactly one option is correct.

2⁄3 + 1⁄6 = ?
A)5⁄6
B)3⁄9
C)1⁄2
D)3⁄6
Explanation

The lowest common denominator of 3 and 6 is 6, so 2⁄3 = 4⁄6 and 4⁄6 + 1⁄6 = 5⁄6. The classic mistake is 3⁄9 — adding numerators and denominators straight across — which ignores that the parts must be the same size before you can add them.

Data Interpretation

Read data from a chart or table — bar, line, pie or table — and answer a numerical question or judge a statement True, False or Cannot Say, one item at a time against the clock. Play with a single chart per question, or the cut-e-realistic tabbed workbook where finding the right dataset is part of the task.

ENAC Mental Calculation

Four series of ten boards, back to back, each on its own clock. You type the result of a chain of additions and subtractions, type the value of the last letter in a small system, choose the narrowest of 10 intervals that holds a result, then tick every one of 7 intervals that does. On the ENAC EPL form, every chain in the first series ends on a multiplication and each series gets 4 minutes. On the Air France Cadets form, the first series is sums only and each series gets 6 minutes.
