About this practice suite
This suite prepares candidates for supply management selection in the business, consulting, management, and operations sector with 5 skill areas: numerical reasoning, data interpretation, planning and scheduling exercises, problem solving and situational judgment. 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.
- Data interpretation: Tables, charts, graphs, dashboards, trends, comparisons, and evidence-based conclusions.
- Planning and scheduling exercises: Resources, dependencies, deadlines, constraints, and contingency planning.
- Problem solving: Selecting methods, combining information, troubleshooting, and reaching practical solutions.
- Situational judgment: Evaluating workplace responses against role-relevant principles.

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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Guided practice | 10 | 15 minutes | Open |
| Timed mini-test | 12 | 18 minutes | Open |
| Full simulation | 30 | 45 minutes | Open |
