    Credit Suisse app
    I've filled out the application form for Credit Suisse Easter Program, but it tells me my application is not complete until I fill out something about Visas, which I can't find. Also I can see no sign of any competency questions/numerical tests

    EDIT: After clicking 'Save' several times in the Personal Details section, it now says the section is complete. But still, where are the numerical/verbal tests and competency questions I've heard about? Do Credit Suisse not have them?

    You only get to attempt the numerical test once you submit your application, and then the verbal reasoning after passing the numerical test as far as I am aware.

    I don't remember having to answer any competency questions for Credit Suisse (applied to the Easter program too), I think if I recall correctly; the application was essentially made up of personal details, education, work experience and cover letter/CV.

    I applied for summer, and since submitting my app several weeks ago have heard nothing, and nothing of any tests......

    When they invite you to take the numerical test, how long after you submit the app is it, and how long do they give you to take the test?

    Instant for me aswell. Heard back with a first round interview 8-9 weeks after the numericals.

    what about the verbal test, did you take right after numerical test? and do you have to do the verbal test before application deadline?

    yeh i am also wondering about Kelv's Q and also how long before this numeracy test "expires"? kind of busy right now so want to delay taking it until next week, which is of course after the deadline. Play it safe and do it tomorrow(well technically today) or friday?

    you get an invite to verbal if you pass the numerical...and verbal was simplistic imho. Numercial was totally standard.

    Also its kind of a long time ago, but do they not give you a time limit for the tests??? Like 48 hours.

    i have been practising using the two agencies sites and efinancial. I did very well on the PHL, doing almost very well on enfinancial, but struggled a bit with SHL.

    I think it was to do with their many many questions, can anyone tell me how long the CS numerical test is, and can can I take an overnight breather for the verbal(my mind always goes to the usual suspects when i type "verbal"!)

    Hey,

    I have a question... Is the Credit Suisse numerical test PSL or SHL? also, is it a tough one?

    I wouldn't know, because apparently if we've been fasttracked from the Spring Week we needn't apply again for the summer internship, but I found the Spring Week numerical test fairly tough, although I think I missed a few questions and still got through, so the pass mark may not be that high.
