About the Akuna Capital Math Test
The Akuna Capital Math Test is a timed mental arithmetic assessment used in the firm's quantitative trading recruitment process. It evaluates candidates' ability to perform numerical calculations quickly and accurately under significant time pressure, testing skills relevant to trading and rapid decision making.
The commonly reported format consists of 80 questions in 8 minutes, allowing an average of just six seconds per question. Questions cover addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, with answers entered directly rather than selected from multiple-choice options. Calculators are not permitted.
The assessment places considerable emphasis on both speed and accuracy. Candidates must perform calculations efficiently, manage their time and avoid costly mistakes. Reported assessment formats can vary by role and recruitment cycle.
What questions can you expect?
The simulator covers addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and decimal arithmetic, with mixed operations that reward accurate calculation and efficient shortcuts.
| Question type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Addition and subtraction | 148 + 76, 18.6 − 7.85 |
| Multiplication | 48 × 25, 2.4 × 0.75 |
| Division and mixed operations | 756 ÷ 9, (48 + 72) ÷ 6 |
How to prepare for Akuna's math assessment
Start with accurate mental calculation, then build speed with timed practice. Learn multiplication facts, practise decimal place values and use practical shortcuts. For example, to multiply by 25, multiply by 100 and then divide by four. Check signs before submitting.
