Maven Securities Online Assessment - Timed Practice

Maven-focused practice across mental maths, sequences and probability. Maven confirms online assessments may form part of recruitment; Outcry’s three-section format and scoring are practice settings.

Format

3 sections · 98 items · about 41 minutes
Format and scoring below apply to this Outcry mock. See the source check for verified firm details and practice adaptations.
Marking on Mental maths, Sequences: +1 correct, 0 wrong, 0 for a skip. Any item-specific mark weight is shown on the question.
Negative marking on Probability and problem solving: +1 correct, −1 wrong, 0 for a skip. Any item-specific mark weight is shown on the question.
No going back in this mock. Answer or skip, and the next item loads.
Questions are generated from Outcry's own banks; a retake changes the selection or parameters.

Sections

Mental maths - 50 items, 5 minutes, no negative marking. 50 items in 5 minutes. Percentages, fractions, multiplication, division, powers and averages. Six seconds an item, so read and answer, do not check.
Sequences - 30 items, 6 minutes, no negative marking. 30 items in 6 minutes. Five terms are shown. Work out the rule and type the next term. Twelve seconds each.
Probability and problem solving - 18 items, 30 minutes, 1 mark lost per wrong answer. 18 items in 30 minutes, five options each. +1 correct, minus 1 wrong, 0 skipped. Mostly probability and expected value, with combinatorics, statistics and a few puzzles. About 100 seconds an item.

What this practice sitting covers

3 sections, 98 items and 41 minutes of section time. Each section uses its own clock. Questions are generated from Outcry’s own banks; repeat attempts can share problem types with different selections or parameters.

How this mock is marked

Marking on Mental maths, Sequences: +1 correct, 0 wrong, 0 for a skip. Any item-specific mark weight is shown on the question. Negative marking on Probability and problem solving: +1 correct, −1 wrong, 0 for a skip. Any item-specific mark weight is shown on the question.

This mock has no back navigation: each submitted or skipped question is final.

Scores measure performance on these exercises. They are not a firm’s pass threshold or a prediction of an interview or offer.

Public sources and practice adaptations

Maven says applicants may complete one or more online assessments as part of emerging-talent recruitment.

The three-part maths/sequences/probability mock, exact clocks, counts and negative marking are Outcry settings. The source does not verify a single universal battery.

Section by section, with a worked example

Every example below is generated by Outcry, drawn from the same generator that section runs during the timed sitting. None of it is Maven Securities's own material.

A. Mental maths

50 items in 5 minutes. Percentages, fractions, multiplication, division, powers and averages. Six seconds an item, so read and answer, do not check.

In this Outcry section: 50 items in 5 minutes, averaging 6 seconds per item. Wrong answers receive no marks and carry no deduction. Unanswered items score zero. Correct-answer weights are shown on the questions. These are the mock’s rules.

Example 1

After a 50% rise a price is 90. What was it before?

Answer 60

Divide, do not subtract: 90/1.5 = 60.

Example 2

337 × 5 = ?

Answer 1685

× 5 is × 10 ÷ 2: 3,370/2 = 1,685.

B. Sequences

30 items in 6 minutes. Five terms are shown. Work out the rule and type the next term. Twelve seconds each.

In this Outcry section: 30 items in 6 minutes, averaging 12 seconds per item. Wrong answers receive no marks and carry no deduction. Unanswered items score zero. Correct-answer weights are shown on the questions. These are the mock’s rules.

Example 1

9, 24, 54, 114, 234, ? What comes next?

Answer 474

Double and add 6: 234 × 2 + 6 = 474.

Example 2

10, 25, 55, 115, 235, ? What comes next?

Answer 475

Double and add 5: 235 × 2 + 5 = 475.

C. Probability and problem solving

18 items in 30 minutes, five options each. +1 correct, minus 1 wrong, 0 skipped. Mostly probability and expected value, with combinatorics, statistics and a few puzzles. About 100 seconds an item.

In this Outcry section: 18 items in 30 minutes, averaging 100 seconds per item. Each wrong answer loses 1 mark. Unanswered items score zero. Correct-answer weights are shown on the questions. These are the mock’s rules.

Example 1

A fair 4-sided die is rolled until two 4s land back to back. How many rolls on average?

Answer 20

Let E be the answer from a fresh start. One roll hits with chance 1/4 and then needs one more hit. Solving gives 4² + 4 = 20.

Example 2

Two fair dice are rolled. What is the chance the total is 8?

13.9%
41.7%
16.7%
23.8%
9.1%

Answer 13.9%

5 of the 36 ordered pairs total 8, so 5/36 = 13.9%. There are 11 totals and 21 unordered pairs, and neither set is equally likely.
