I recently took the flow traders mental math test (75Q in 10 mins). I passed through that math test and I have an aptitude test scheduled for this Friday. The mail I received says this test will contain mental math test, sequences, verbal analogies, syllogisms. Anyone has taken this test and can share the experience and what questions I can expect and what I should prepare for it?
Thank you WSO.

I remember reading about this and sequencing part being especially brutal. The OP said they would definitely study that more but I guess it just depends on your personal strengths. Check out the thread below and good luck.

I will be sure to check out that thread. Thank you :)
Hey!! I also cleared that test and have the IQ & Personality test coming up for Flow Traders. Could you help me as to what should i expect for the same and how should i prepare for it ?
Thanks
How was the mental math test? Have mine on tuesday. How many did you do?
Depends on your preparation honestly !! I'll recommend you a couple of sites , check them out if you have'nt. 1. Arithmetic Zetamac:- Anything above 60 in basic settings is decent. 2. MathTrainer.org:- try to reach level 90 or 91 with decent speeds (around 50-60) on an average, after that level , it's beyond the scope of the test. 3. rankyourbrain:- good for practicing decimals There are a few apps too you can try them out.
If you have the time go through Arthur Benjamin's book secret to mental math's initial few chapters. It's a good read on how to deconstruct problems. Tip- Memorize basic fractions like 1/6 ,1/8etc as it helps . I'm assuming you already know about the format :- easy medium and difficult (25 questions each ) with negative marking for incorrect and unattempted. The third section is "Guesstimation " where you'll have MCQs, but still you'll have to calculate to some extent.
I hope this answers everything. All the best :)
did you have a strategy as to which sections you attempted first? did you attempt the easier first and left the tough one for last? or did you attempt the tough one first because it has more points? and how many did you get?
Hey Vishwas-Maheshwari is it that the easy section has all (single digit ) +/-/*// questions , medium ones are double digit and difficult ones are 3 or more digits ?? And is it that only Difficult ones have MCQ's and others don't ?
TIA
