Ah cool cheers I'll let you know how I get on :biggrin:

Should have gone for London :wink:


Well done for getting into the interview :biggrin:

I myself have been rejected at the numeracy stage :facepalm2: and have currently completed one of the KPMG online tests.

Just want to know out of interest how long it took for them to get back to you!

Thanks mate :smile:

Took a couple of days I think, don't fret, I thought the numerical one went AWFUL but still got through, but I did get 99th percentile for the verbal test :sexface:

Did you apply for London?

Sorry rejected from Deloitte that is.

Bloody hell man that's awesome :tongue:

Yh I think I might have got some of the 'false' and 'cannot say' options mixed up, but hope I pulled through the verbal

I researched it, and mst people who pass did not try to attempt all the questions, as they found KPMGs quite difficult, so when I do it, I will only try like 70%.

Btw was it hard in terms on content, or time management? :eek:

Yeahh Audit- London, thought I would enjoy it the most!

Thanks man! Just did the verbal test which was quite fun..I loved the focus on economics/business which meant I could kinda guess some answers when i needed to. Now on to the numeracy test.

Nope.

One day to be told I had got through to the next stage, another day after that to be told to book my telephone interview :smile: they're very efficient.
