Quant Q: Measure Quantitative Reasoning

The Quant Q measures quantitative reasoning integrated with critical thinking. It is used in all employment contexts and levels at which the demonstrable capacity to apply quantitative reasoning is valued.

Success in high school and college courses and professional fields in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines requires strong quantitative reasoning skills. The Quant-Q targets reasoning skills in relation to quantitative problems. The instrument is designed to measure one's ability to think beyond the calculations themselves in order to reason to the proper applications of those calculations.

The questions on the Quant-Q require a more complex integration of critical thinking skills and quantitative reasoning abilities. While the questions can be challenging, the actual mathematical knowledge required for this instrument is basic. The Quant-Q is ideal for:

high school students who are college bound
undergraduate students
graduate students
professionals in quantitatively oriented fields
people with strong mathematical aptitude or interests

The Quant-Q is a 28 item standardized test that is designed for use in a 50 minute time frame. Programs in mathematics, economics, statistics, the physical and biological sciences, engineering, computer science, architecture, and business find the Quant-Q particularly useful. This tool is available in our encrypted on-line e-testing system, or in paper-&-pencil format.
