About the Financial Math test
Sustainable growth for many businesses depends on accurate financial information. At the core of this financial information is financial math: functions, computations, and arithmetic related to financial information. Proper business decision-making is supported by various mathematical analyses and computations.
High-quality financial mathematics is a hallmark of high-quality financial positions. To find suitable candidates for your organization, this screening test uses practical, scenario-based questions that ask candidates to solve financial math problems that regularly come up when handling finance-related matters, such as computation of present and future value, net present value, internal rate of return, real and nominal rate of return, and products leading to profit maximization.
Candidates performing well on this Financial Math test will possess a good understanding of financial math and help your organization solve complicated finance-related problems and computations. Successful candidates will provide valuable input for your company’s financial decisions.
All Financial Math test questions can be solved without using a calculator, but given the time constraints, access to a calculator is highly recommended for all candidates taking this test.

What our customers are saying

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.
The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.
For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.
I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.
For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.
