EY Assessment Math Skills Examples
See clear examples of EY assessment math skills and what to expect from numerical reasoning practice aligned with LTP-style tests.
Clear expectations for EY math skills practice
If you are preparing for an EY assessment through LTP, math skills practice is usually aimed at speed, accuracy, and calm reasoning under time pressure. The focus is not on advanced mathematics, but on handling calculations efficiently and reading numerical information carefully.
This page gives concrete examples of the kind of situations that often appear in numerical reasoning and math skills exercises. The goal is to help you understand the format, the level of difficulty, and the kind of thinking the test expects.
EY assessments can differ by role, but math skills tasks commonly appear alongside other capacity tests. That means it is useful to practice calculations in a way that reflects the fast, structured style used in LTP assessments.

What the examples usually look like
In this module, you may see equations with one unknown, short calculation tasks, or questions based on tables and graphs. The main challenge is often not the math itself, but doing the work quickly and without losing track of the numbers.
Typical example situations include adding or subtracting values under time pressure, working with multiplication or division, or estimating an average from a small set of figures. You may also need to combine several steps in one question, such as first identifying the right data and then calculating the result.
Some items check whether you can spot the correct operation from the setup. Others test whether you can keep your calculations organized when the information is presented in a compact form, such as a short statement, a table, or a simple chart.
How to read these tasks during preparation
A practical approach is to first identify what the question is asking and then check which numbers matter. In numerical reasoning, unnecessary detail can slow you down, so it helps to separate the relevant data from the background information.
When you practice, pay attention to whether the task is asking for a direct calculation, a missing value, or a comparison between figures. The examples in this category are designed to build familiarity with those patterns, so the test format feels more predictable on the day itself.
For EY candidates, this kind of preparation is useful because it supports both accuracy and pace. The more often you work through example situations, the easier it becomes to recognize what kind of calculation a question requires.
