This book is for anyone who would like to master the basics of numerical reasoning: school and college students, jobseekers and, more generally, all candidates preparing to take a numerical reasoning test. It is especially designed for:
- those who have (or believe they have) a poor level of maths;
- those who have a good knowledge of maths but who have not had any occasion to use this knowledge for a number of years.

Numerical reasoning tests are increasingly being used as part of the recruitment process, for example in civil service exams (Selor tests in Belgium, EPSO tests in European institutions, etc). They are also used in entrance exams for certain universities and prestigious higher education establishments in countries like France, the United States and Great Britain (GMAT, GRE, etc).

Numerical reasoning tests assess a candidate's ability to understand and analyse numerical data. They can be presented in various forms: number sequences to complete; fill-in-the-blank tests; numerical estimation; text, table or graph-based problem solving, etc.

To be successful in these tests, the candidate needs to use the appropriate calculation and reasoning techniques. These are explained in detail in this book, which includes:
- a detailed methodology illustrated with numerous examples;
- 150 questions arranged by topic and level of difficulty;
- a detailed explanation of the answer to each question.

Cette toute nouvelle édition, entièrement revue et augmentée, s'adresse à tous les candidats aux concours des institutions européennes qui souhaitent se préparer dans les meilleures conditions au test de raisonnement verbal.

Le test de raisonnement verbal n'est pas un test de connaissances, mais de logique. Pour réussir, le candidat doit faire preuve de quatre qualités essentielles :
- savoir analyser une affirmation et comprendre le sens d'un texte ;
- maîtriser certaines règles de logique verbale pour déterminer dans quels cas une affirmation peut ou non se déduire d'un texte ;
- être capable de repérer rapidement les affirmations qui ont la plus grande chance de constituer la bonne réponse ;
- savoir lire un texte de manière sélective.

Les concours d'entrée dans les institutions européennes sont très sélectifs. La réussite au test de raisonnement verbal est avant tout une question de méthode et d'entrainement.

Cet ouvrage permet d'augmenter sensiblement vos chances de réussite. Il comprend :
- une méthodologie complète et détaillée illustrée par de nombreux exemples ;
- 10 tests de 10 questions ;
- un corrigé détaillé de chaque question.

Les questions proposées dans cet ouvrage sont similaires à celles des concours organisés par l'EPSO. Elles sont différentes de celles de nos précédents ouvrages et de nos tests en ligne.

This brand new, revised and expanded edition is aimed at all candidates planning to sit European institution competitions and who wish to prepare as effectively as possible for the verbal reasoning test.

The verbal reasoning test is not a test of knowledge but of logic. To be successful, candidates must display four key qualities:
- the ability to analyse a statement and understand the meaning of a text;
- a mastery of certain rules of verbal logic in order to establish whether or not an answer can be deduced from the information in the text;
- the ability to identify quickly which statements are most likely to constitute the correct answer;
- the ability to read a text selectively.

Entry competitions for European institutions are highly selective. Success in the verbal reasoning test is, above all, a matter of method and training.
This book can significantly increase your chance of success. It contains:
- a detailed methodology illustrated with numerous examples;
- 10 tests of 10 questions each;
- a detailed explanation of the answer to each question.

The questions in this book are similar to those that have been set in the competitions run by EPSO. They are different to those in previous editions and from our online test questions.
