An important part of this role is the ability to use information to solve problems. In this exercise, you will use several resources and reports to answer questions. It should take about 8 minutes to complete. Before answering the questions, you should look at the given material by clicking on the “Resources” tab near the top. There is no time limit but the quicker you answer the questions the better your score will be.

Problem Solving Example

Below, you see an incomplete equation and the keypad with the available numbers. The highlighted frame indicates that a gap is selected. You can select a gap by simply tapping/clicking on it. The “3” is already selected, making “4” the only other number that will make this equation correct. For the assessment, it is possible that there may be more than one correct answer. Other possible answers to the sample problem on the right include; “2” and “5”, “1” and “6”, “4” and “3”, “5” and “2”, as well as “6” and “1”.


After filling all gaps, you will tap/click the lock icon in order to advance to the next level.
