To stand any good chances to pass the test ensure that you can work out basic percentages inside out i.e. converting percentages to decimals, fractions and vice versa. Also ensure that you are familiar with concept of reverse percentages and learn how to work them out when presented in charts, tables and graphs..

Hi, I think that some summary of formulas for calculating percentages would be very helpful.
Miso, thank you..
Sarah, this is very easy and straightforward, just divide 560/3400 and to convert it into percentages multiply by 100, that is, 16.47%.
How can I know what percentage one value is of another? For example value A is 3400 and value B would be 560 I want to know what percentage of 3400 is 560 - am I making sense?
Hi, depending on the question, for example, for reverse percentages, if something increased say by 20% from year X to year Y and you are given figure Y and figure X needs to be worked out then apply foruma Y / (1+0.20, by practice you will become swift in these calculations
