The first half is largely pattern recognition (e.g. something like 'guess the next number: 1, 4, 4, 7, 28, 10, 280, 13' except more complicated). The second half is more just rapid fire calculations, "calculate how much interest is paid on this load in x years" type stuff. There's enough time to do them out by hand but unless there are two very similar options, you're best off estimating which choice is best
