For many applicants, this is the most challenging part of the test, because it demands not only mathematical thinking but also reading comprehension and focus under time pressure. However, those who familiarise themselves with the typical question formats and train consistently can gain a significant advantage here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/edu-link.de\/en\/solving-quantitative-problems-in-the-leuphana-online-test-itb-aset\/#What_exactly_is_Solving_Quantitative_Problems\" >What exactly is Solving Quantitative Problems?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/edu-link.de\/en\/solving-quantitative-problems-in-the-leuphana-online-test-itb-aset\/#Typical_question_types_in_Solving_Quantitative_Problems\" >Typical question types in Solving Quantitative Problems<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/edu-link.de\/en\/solving-quantitative-problems-in-the-leuphana-online-test-itb-aset\/#How_to_approach_mathematical_word_problems_tactically\" >How to approach mathematical word problems tactically<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-99d88c9bb443f44bc84770742f032bad\" style=\"border-radius:40px;background-color:#2e5077\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_exactly_is_Solving_Quantitative_Problems\"><\/span><strong>What exactly is Solving Quantitative Problems?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">You will encounter mathematical tasks, but not the kind of straightforward exercises you might remember from school. Most questions are embedded in text form: a short story, an everyday scenario, or a brief situation describes a problem that you need to solve numerically. That means you first need to understand what is being asked, filter out the relevant numbers, and then calculate efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Example: <em>&#8222;A train travels at 120 km\/h. After 45 minutes it stops for 10 minutes. How far has it travelled in total after 1.5 hours?&#8220;<\/em>&nbsp; Sounds simple, but under time pressure and with multiple calculation steps, it becomes genuinely demanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-070b1bce3a81918c8096a6c11943eec1\" style=\"border-radius:40px;background-color:#2e5077\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Typical_question_types_in_Solving_Quantitative_Problems\"><\/span><strong>Typical question types in Solving Quantitative Problems<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">The most common topics that appear in the test include percentages and ratios, speed, time and distance, area and volume calculations, basic algebra and equations, and reading and interpreting charts and tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Important: The tasks test logical thinking and efficiency \u2014 not complex formulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-cad9f0e36fecd7feed9b69604b625620\" style=\"border-radius:40px;background-color:#2e5077\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_approach_mathematical_word_problems_tactically\"><\/span><strong>How to approach mathematical word problems tactically<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Read the question first \u2014 before reading the full text. That way you know exactly what to look for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Identify and note all relevant numbers and units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Watch out for unit conversions \u2014 minutes to hours, metres to kilometres.

Is a travel speed of 4,000 km\/h realistic? No \u2014 so recalculate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Study tip:<\/strong> Practising word problems for just 15 minutes a day quickly builds familiarity with the format and naturally improves your speed.
