De Nederlandsche Bank Number Sequence Guide
Understand the number sequence part for De Nederlandsche Bank practice. Learn the pattern types, what to expect, and how to prepare calmly.
What this module covers
This guide explains the number sequence part that may appear in the De Nederlandsche Bank assessment through GITP. It is meant to help you understand the exercise format and prepare in a practical way.
In a number sequence, you study a line of numbers and work out the rule behind it. The task is to spot the pattern and choose the next number as accurately and quickly as possible.
The module fits a broader aptitude test that can also include other parts such as matrices, analogies, and figure sequences. Which parts you need to complete is stated in your invitation email or in the GITP online platform.

This gives you an immediate feel for the question style and the value of the practice environment.
How to approach the questions
Start by checking whether the sequence changes through addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. If that does not fit, look for alternating steps, grouped changes, or a rule that becomes visible over several numbers.
Work systematically and do not focus only on the last two numbers. Many sequences become clearer when you compare early terms with later ones and test one rule at a time.
Because these tasks are timed, it helps to use a steady process: identify the pattern, confirm it with the full sequence, and then select the answer that follows logically.
Practical preparation checklist
- Review basic arithmetic patterns first, then move to more layered sequences.
- Practice under time pressure so you get used to making quick but careful decisions.
- Use explanation feedback to see how each sequence is built.
- Check the invitation details so you know which assessment parts are relevant.
Regular practice is useful because the assessment result is compared with a norm group. Familiarity with the question style can make it easier to stay focused when the test begins.
What to expect during preparation
The exercises in this module are arranged to help you build skill step by step. You begin with simpler patterns and move toward more demanding sequences, which supports both accuracy and speed.
You can use the published free practice test to get a first impression of the format. From there, continue with targeted practice on the number sequence item type if that is part of your invitation.
This is especially helpful if you want to prepare in a calm, structured way for the aptitude test component of the GITP assessment for De Nederlandsche Bank.
Who this guide is for
This page is useful if you have been invited to complete the De Nederlandsche Bank assessment and want a clear explanation of the number sequence module. It is also suitable if you want to refresh your approach before test day.
The focus is on understanding the pattern types you are likely to meet and on building a reliable working method. That makes the module a practical part of your broader preparation for the assessment.
