The quantitative section here focuses on percentages, ratios, averages, data interpretation tables, number series, work, speed and simple interest, the kind of numerical reasoning used in many online assessments.
Important: Uncodemy is not connected with IBM. These are original practice questions written to build the skills such tests check, not real test papers. Companies change their hiring tests and vendors often, so confirm the current process on IBM's careers site or with your placement cell.
Scoring example
All questions are one mark. Getting 9, 11, 9 and 5 right gives 34 out of 46, about 73.9%. Data interpretation questions in this set use a small table of figures; practise reading the table first and then the question, so you don't miss which year or column is asked about.
In the IBM practice set, aptitude questions are generated with new numbers on every attempt, so you can't memorise answers, only methods. Enter the test code from your result to retake the identical set.
Tips
- In number series, check differences first, then ratios, then alternating patterns.
- Round sensibly in data interpretation; the options are usually far enough apart.
- Trace code with a small table of variable values.
