Number Sequences Test Practice
Spot the rule and predict the next term - the pattern test firms pair with mental math.
Free account required to play.
Alongside the mental-math test, speed-focused market makers use a number-sequences assessment: you're shown a run of numbers and must infer the rule and give the next term. It rewards fast pattern recognition - arithmetic and geometric progressions, growing differences, alternating and interleaved patterns, and recursive rules.
The Sequences simulator draws from a wide library of pattern types and validates each series so there's a single defensible answer. Working many varied sequences under a timer trains you to test hypotheses quickly and recognise the common structures on sight.
What it's modelled on
The number-sequences half of a speed screen
The numerical stage of a speed assessment typically pairs the mental-math blitz with a number-sequences test - infer the rule from a run of numbers and give the next term. This simulator recreates that pattern-recognition round.

What it trains
- Recognising arithmetic, geometric, and higher-order difference patterns
- Alternating, interleaved, and recursive (Fibonacci-style) sequences
- Forming and testing a rule quickly under time pressure
How it's scored
You type the next term and submit; the server checks it. Free plays a fixed 12-question, 3-minute Easy set; Premium can configure count, timer, and difficulty to scale from foundations to hard patterns.
Frequently asked questions
- What kinds of number sequences appear in trading assessments?
- Arithmetic and geometric progressions, growing or higher-order differences, alternating and interleaved series, and recursive rules like Fibonacci. The skill is inferring the rule from a few terms and predicting the next one quickly.
- How do I get faster at number-sequence questions?
- Practise a wide variety so the common structures become recognisable on sight, and get into the habit of testing a candidate rule against every given term before committing. Timed reps build the speed assessments demand.
