HireVue Disconumbers practice
Numbered circles light up one after another. Add up the lit ones and pick the total from four answers.
One full free game, then a pass for unlimited practice. Built from recordings that candidates made of the real test (NATO, PwC and Shell, 2021 to 2025). Screens, colours and wording are ours.
How Disconumbers works
- Watch the board: circles flash one at a time.
- Keep a running total of every number that lit up.
- When the flashing stops, pick the total from four answers.
- Higher levels light more circles and bring in negative numbers.
Time and scoring
3 minutes. In recordings of the real test, a right answer moves you up two levels and a miss or a timeout drops you one. Practice uses the same rule, so a run of right answers quickly reaches hard levels. The clock stops while the circles flash.
Tips
- Add as each circle lights. Do not try to remember the numbers and add at the end.
- Wrong answers are often the total with one number missed or one unlit number added; check those first.
- With negatives, keep the running total in your head as a signed number: 9, then minus 4 is 5.
Questions
Do I need the order?
No, only the total. The order just matters for keeping track.
When do negatives start?
Around level 38 in recordings. Ours start at level 36.
