SHL actually take the piss, what the hell are they doing


A similar thing happened to me last year and I just took screenshots of the error messages and e-mailed it to the recruitment team. They kindly reset my tests.:redface:
Guys do firms scan apps for plagiarism?
My reason for asking is that I last year and progressed well with a bank, so am assuming my app answers were strong. I want to reuse them (beefed up of course) but I've created another account because my email address got hacked so I don't want the firm to see XX% similarity with another candidate...

Contact HR and tell them you are applying with a different email address. They sometimes automatically reject multiple profiles. Depends on the bank though, some have new systems so your old profile will have been deleted anyway (BAML, Barclays, Citi etc.)

****ed that Citi test. Reckon I got 10/12... That okay you reckon?

Its quite easy, don't know what everyone is complaining about lol. I missed two of the Qs because I made a mistake on my calculator. Wish I didn't have such sweaty fingers :L.

I reckon people in here will find it easy to get 12/12 ngl.
Is UBS definitely just a numerical test?

Yep, 18 questions, 25 minutes - others are on the very first post
Does Citi reject straight after the numerical test if you failed it? If not, after how much time?

That was my first TalentQ ngl. But it seemed pretty easy to get 12/12. Tbh, thinking back on it I probably did half of it wrong as it was far too easy from what others have said.

We shall see. You started uni yet Prince? Looking forward to the fresher experience?

Fair, they usually suck. I remember doing one for an RBS thing and getting 80th percentile with 7/12 lol.

Next week, looking to get completely totalled for 10 days straight.*

Do you know which banks specifically reject automatically for that?

Really? I can see why. Tbh ive always been good at mental arithmetic, so most things i can roughly calculate in my head. The only problem is the time limit per question and the number of different answers there are lol.

haha, I would expect nothing less! Just make sure you have the paracetamols ready with a permanent big bottle of water stationed by your bed xD.
Oh ffs, I completed the Morgan Stanley numerical but the verbal wouldn't open and the application centre is telling me to contact HR.

1. Please share something about yourself that we cannot see from your CV (200 words)

From Nomura's application form, so is it ok to expand on something that is on my CV, where it is only listed in the interest section?

Do Nomura send test invites out automatically?

Believe me, I've tried. It just says:

'As your online assessment was not submitted correctly, please contact [email protected] with your full name and the email address you used to register with the recruitment system. Please include the details of the problem that you encountered. We will aim to get back to you within 24 business hours.'
