About the SIG Quantitative Evaluation
The SIG Quantitative Evaluation is a quantitative reasoning assessment associated with Susquehanna International Group's trading recruitment process. It tests candidates' ability to solve mathematical and logical problems accurately under time pressure.
Reported formats vary by role and location. EverythingQuant's simulation follows a 17 question, 20 minute format, consisting of 12 numerical questions and 5 multiple-choice questions. The assessment focuses on probability, expected value, counting, algebra and logical reasoning.
What questions can you expect?
Unlike rapid mental maths assessments, SIG-style quantitative questions often require several steps of reasoning. Candidates may need to calculate probabilities, evaluate expected payouts, count possible outcomes or solve mathematical problems.
| Question type | Illustrative example |
|---|---|
| Probability | Probability of exactly 3 heads in 5 coin flips |
| Expected value | Expected profit from a game with different payouts |
| Combinatorics | Number of ways to select 3 people from a group of 8 |
| Algebra | Solve a system of two equations |
| Logic | Determine which conclusions follow from a set of constraints |

Frequently asked questions
How difficult is the SIG Quantitative Evaluation?
The assessment can be challenging because questions require careful reasoning under time pressure. Probability, expected value and counting problems may involve multiple steps, making both mathematical accuracy and efficient problem-solving important.
What score should I aim for?
Within EverythingQuant's 17-question simulator, 10 or more correct answers represents good performance, while 14 or more is considered strong.
What topics should I study for the SIG Quantitative Evaluation?
Focus on probability, conditional probability, expected value, combinatorics, algebra and logical reasoning. Practise identifying efficient solution methods and checking assumptions before performing calculations.
How should I prepare for the SIG quantitative assessment?
Begin with untimed probability and quantitative reasoning problems to develop accuracy. Then practise under timed conditions, aiming to solve problems efficiently without sacrificing precision. Review incorrect answers and understand the underlying methods before repeating timed assessments.
What is the format of the SIG Quantitative Evaluation?
The format may differ by recruiting programme, office and year. EverythingQuant uses a 20-minute simulation with 17 questions, comprising 12 numerical and 5 multiple choice questions. This is a practice format, not a guarantee of the assessment you will receive.
