Hi,

I have my AC for EY next Tuesday and I was wondering if you can give me a little bit of info on the individual task, as I have been reading a lot about it but no one really tells what the ask on the first part the case study part. Also if you can tell me a little bit about the numerical test, are they harder? or how did you find them?. Any other advice about it will be really welcome

Thanks a lot for your help!

The case study for each one is different, but for mine I had to write a report about some financial information and then how I would lead a team to do this task. It mentions a student who is going to be leaving for study leave so make sure you mention how you will deal with her! Overall I think it's alright, not too time pressured and quite simple too bring in figures!

I felt the psychometric tests were harder in person as you feel the pressure so much more, especially the time management of it all.

For the group exercise they give you a topic to discuss between you and the other people in your group. Just important for this one that you don't argue, make your opinion heard but don't be too loud. In my AC, one particular guy wasn't too confident and I asked him what his views were and they seemed to like that gesture.

If you need anything else let me know!

Oh right okay.

It is mainly to do with situation based questions, you need to go in with plenty of examples of things. Such as how you have dealt with something in a certain situation. There is a lot of questions but I don't think they ask you all of them!

Hi there,

Having passed my first round interview I have been invited to an assessment centre.

I am just wondering what they are like?

I actually enjoyed the interview, is this a whole different kettle of fish?

I understand that it's team based activities and then an interview with a partner?

Anybody know the proportion of people that will get an offer?

Cheers, Ryan.

hey, My name is Anum. And I am very much interested in applying for the EY Scholarship. Could you please specifically tell me the question that were asked din the interviews and what were the questions in the assessments.
Thankyou :smile:

Hi all,

I have the EY assessment centre in London for assurance next week, does anyone who has had any previous experience with EY asssessment centre have any recent tips for me? I read the website and apparently, it contains a written exercise in which you require a calculator, group exercise and individual exercise with maybe a colleague lunch in between.

Many Thanks

It was a longtime ago that I did the AC but at the time I checked wikijobs which had a lot of info...

For mine there was a group exercise, the usual tips here, don't be too pushy/ott but don't sit there in silence and be a passenger either, fairly common sense stuff.

There was also a mock phone call with a disgruntled trainee, who you had to talk round...

Then tests which were the same as the online tests.

It was pretty straightforward to be honest.

I actually left to join the civil service in the end, that consisted of 2 full day assessment centres and was far tougher...

Not much required, just think about broad points and link them to EY if you can. Just try to stay chatty, my assessment centre only had 6 people in it, very nice and relaxed

Ohh thank you for that. By any chance do you remember any questions you were asked/made to discuss during the conversation with the assessor?What did the written test consist of?
