Treasury

About this practice suite

This suite prepares candidates for treasury selection in the finance, accounting, banking, and insurance sector with 5 skill areas: numerical reasoning, data interpretation, critical thinking, 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.
• Data interpretation — Tables, charts, graphs, dashboards, trends, comparisons, and evidence-based conclusions.
• Critical thinking — Evaluating evidence, assumptions, arguments, credibility, and alternative explanations.
• 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 13-week cash forecast is primarily used in treasury to:

   • A. Anticipate near-term liquidity surpluses and shortfalls
   • B. Approve commercial loan covenants
   • C. Replace all FX exposure measurement
   • D. Complete retail KYC sales scripts

2. Payroll hits Friday but a major receivable is delayed to next week, leaving a projected $2m shortfall. Best?

   • A. Ignore the forecast because payroll always clears magically
   • B. Mobilise liquidity (draw, invest maturity, or delay noncritical outflows) per policy
   • C. Open a credit underwriting file on a random borrower
   • D. Ask branch staff to sell more checking accounts as the only fix

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.
