Entrepreneurship and business reasoning

About this practice suite

This suite prepares candidates for entrepreneurship and business reasoning selection in the business, consulting, management, and operations sector with 5 skill areas: numerical reasoning, critical thinking, problem solving, situational judgment and planning and scheduling exercises. Every question was written by Novus editors for this suite — none are taken from live or leaked exams — and the full bank holds 52 scored questions across three modes, plus 8 reserve questions used to vary repeat attempts. Answer keys never ship to the browser: your answers are scored server-side, and results stay on your device.

Skills this suite practises

• Numerical reasoning — Arithmetic, fractions, percentages, ratios, rates, estimation, word problems, and number relationships.
• Critical thinking — Evaluating evidence, assumptions, arguments, credibility, and alternative explanations.
• Problem solving — Selecting methods, combining information, troubleshooting, and reaching practical solutions.
• Situational judgment — Evaluating workplace responses against role-relevant principles.
• Planning and scheduling exercises — Resources, dependencies, deadlines, constraints, and contingency planning.

Sample questions from the guided bank

Two of the 10 guided-practice questions, shown exactly as they appear in a session. Answers and explanations are not printed here — keys stay on the server — so open guided practice to answer them and see how you did.

1. A pilot sells a $40/mo plan. Variable cost is $12/user/mo; fixed costs are $8,400/mo. Educational break-even user count?

   • A. 210
   • B. 120
   • C. 700
   • D. 300

2. Two experiments compete for the same week of founder time: (A) price test with clear metrics, (B) a vague "brand vibe" survey with no decision link. Best prioritization under uncertainty?

   • A. Run B first because it feels creative
   • B. Run neither and wait for perfect data
   • C. Prioritize A for learning that can change a near-term pricing decision; park B until it has a decision link
   • D. Promise both fully and sleep less without a plan

Practice modes and timing

Guided practice is untimed-feeling and instructional; the mini-test is a short timed check; the full simulation mirrors a complete sitting. All three draw on separate question sets, so moving up a mode never repeats what you practised.
