Re: KPMG Gap Year Programme 2012Dw mate, I think you need around 9 to pass the numerical. It's pretty impossible to do all 24 numerical questions.(Original post by -Illmatic-)
That was pretty hard...ouch.
I've been putting it off for too long, I'll do it soon....

Re: KPMG Gap Year Programme 2012Really?! I think I got around 12(Original post by Tomatochuckers)

attempted around 17/18 with 3 of them being panicky guesses at around 00:40 seconds left lol. If we get a place, how easy is it to switch to another location? Also, do they provide accommodation? Cant seem to find the salary
as well...any ideas people?

Re: KPMG Gap Year Programme 2012Did you apply to London? Also, which business area did you apply to? I'm not sure if you can relocate tbh. As for the salary, it depends on the length of the scheme you applied to. If it's a 9 month one, I'd imagine around £15K(Original post by -Illmatic-)

If it's a 6 month one, around 10K. Non- London will also have lower salaries -
Re: KPMG Gap Year Programme 2012Audit @ Gatwick. Would hate to commute everyday from West London and, though some sort of flat share would be cool, would be a waste of money i reckon.(Original post by Tomatochuckers)

Re: KPMG Gap Year Programme 2012I wouldn't worry, I'm sure you did just fine! I'm not sure how they consider relocation. Seeing as it's a telephone interview rather than a few interviews with people who may be your bosses next year, it might be easier. They won't provide accommodation, but might offer an upfront interest-free loan which is paid out from your salary.(Original post by -Illmatic-)

Deloitte's is £20k pro-rata in London, and around £16,500 outside. -
Re: KPMG Gap Year Programme 2012Thanks for that! Do you know any other schemes that havent closed (I got rejected from Deloittes scheme(Original post by joshgoldman)

Re: KPMG Gap Year Programme 2012Hang on, I think they (KPMG) may pay for flat share, or maybe that was just Deloitte (financially they were the best).(Original post by -Illmatic-)

I think you will still have quite a lot left over tbh, even with the rent, get what you mean though.
Bank of England
There's also this scheme for ethnic minorities
, need to look it up again

Ummm, has Accenture's closed yet? Think Rothschild has closed, BofE will open soon (if it hasn't already), that's worth applying to!(Original post by -Illmatic-)

As for Accenture, never leave things till the last minute. I partially filled in the app form, and they said I sent it when I swear I didn't and then said I had 5 days to complete it. I left it till the 5th day cos I had to revise, and the internet in my house didn't work

Re: KPMG Gap Year Programme 2012Future Reach isn't ethnic minorities.(Original post by -Illmatic-)
PM me if you find out about the ethnic minority scheme (might have been Future Reach?) -
Re: KPMG Gap Year Programme 2012Yeah I figured after I wrote it(Original post by Tateco)
Future Reach isn't ethnic minorities.
my bad
-
Re: KPMG Gap Year Programme 2012Nah that means that they take people from all backgrounds. They just want to show that they are willing to reject people from all races(Original post by Tateco)
Although it does say "from diverse backgrounds", hope that's not a hint that they only take ethnic minorities...

Re: KPMG Gap Year Programme 2012Same! The scores really do not matter now, getting higher score a will not put one at an advantage.(Original post by -Illmatic-)
I'd also like to know how you can find out your scores. Managed to get a telephone interview but nothing on my scores just a 'well done, you've been successful..' email...
Well done

Re: KPMG Gap Year Programme 2012(Original post by Stephination)
how did you find out your results for the tests? I asked for feedback after the final interview but never got the actual scores!
I got mine in the email asking me to book my first interview.(Original post by -Illmatic-)

"Dear Josh
Congratulations on successfully completing the verbal and numerical reasoning tests. The score you achieved in comparison to other candidates who apply to us is around the 60 percentile in the verbal test and around the 94 percentile in the numerical test..." -

- hope I got 11, but then I only steadily attempted 11. It will be borderline, but at least I shown improvement from Deloitte's I think
