Growth rate is not the same as dollar growth

This is an illustrative example, not customer evidence or a real company’s results.

Hypothetical revenue, $M
BusinessYear 1Year 2
A2030
B100120

A grew by 50%, but added $10M. B grew by 20%, but added $20M. Which answer matters depends on whether the question asks for the fastest percentage growth or the largest dollar increase.

Diagnostic scores describe these tasks, not overall interview readiness. Different forms can differ in difficulty.

What the diagnostic covers

  • Percentages, Ratios & Rates

    Moving fluently between growth rates, margins, shares, penetration, and conversion — including reversing them.

  • Units & Scale

    Keeping thousands, millions, billions, currencies, time periods, and per-unit values straight through a calculation.

  • Exhibit Interpretation

    Pulling the right figures out of a chart or table and turning them into a business insight rather than a description.

  • Recognition & Setup

    Seeing what needs to be calculated, and structuring the equation, before doing any arithmetic.

  • Calculation Fluency

    Executing arithmetic cleanly and quickly enough that it stops competing for your attention.

  • Multi-Step Reasoning

    Holding a chain of calculations together without losing the intermediate values or the business objective.
