What this test measures
Correct and incorrect answers indicate knowledge of the concepts in this practice. They do not establish a trait profile, diagnosis or job fit.
- A budget compares income with spending over the same period. Include irregular expenses rather than treating them as surprises.
- Compound interest applies a rate to both the starting balance and accumulated interest. Fees, taxes, inflation and changing rates can change real outcomes.
- When comparing percentages, name the starting amount. A 10% fall followed by a 10% rise does not return you to the same balance.
| Category | Questions in bank | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Investing | 11 | Compound growth, diversification, fee drag, and the difference between price and value. |
| Economics | 8 | Inflation, real versus nominal returns, interest rates, and how they interact. |
| Budgeting | 7 | Cash-flow planning, emergency funds, and the arithmetic of everyday spending. |
| Credit | 4 | How scores are built, what debt actually costs, and which repayments to prioritise. |
A worked example
What happens to $200 after a 10% fall followed by a 10% rise?
- A 10% fall removes $20, leaving $180.
- The later 10% rise is 10% of $180, which is $18.
- The final balance is $198. The percentages applied to different starting amounts.
