Hey there,

Interpretation of tables using percentages and ratios is only a part of the test. Other sorts of questions include finding the shortest route (out of a number of routes), fuel-time-distance calculations regarding a boat, finding the best deal out of two supermarkets, etc.

The gist is to work quickly, and make sensible guesses as is appropriate. The mathematics required is just basic arithmetic, but there is a lot of it, and there will be time pressure. You will need to calculate the numbers manually, but the numbers won't be overly large or inconvenient. Just keep your cool and do/guess as much as you can. I think it is impossible to finish the test without making guesses at times. If you have an engineering background, more likely than not you will do just fine.
