There were some numerical questions and situational questions. I practised beforehand so I did not find it too difficult.

Thank you. Did you use the practice test they sent or another website to practice, wanting to do it later today

Sorry, I saw this a little bit late. Have you done your test? I did both. I think the test they sent was just to give you the feeling of their tests but did not really help me prepare tbh.

Hi, ericericy. Is there only situational judgement, numerical reasoning, and verbal reasoning , questions? Or inductive/logic reasoning questions too? Also, what is the format of the test, including video interview questions? Thank you in advance!

hey, yes. there were numerical questions, situational judgement questions and video interview questions. No logic questions.

Thank you. Did you practice using a specific test provider or random, also how many video interview questions was there?

Can't remember exactly, but there were roughly 4-5 questions for the video. I practised in a few websites as I failed a few times last year. lol found this one helpful.

Oh, ok. Thank you for the link. Did you pass the interactive assessment for BDO this year? I think they use Cappfinity for their numerical reasoning tests, or all of them

Still waiting. But passed EY, which also uses Cappfinity I believe.

Hey,

I have applied for their audit programme and going to complete my online assessment tomorrow. I was wondering if you could provide some insights for the video interview part? What were the questions like?

Thanks!
Hi, has anyone heard back from BDO after completing their online assessments/VI

Hi, were your video questions specifically related to your programme of choice or were they more general motivational/strength + why bdo type questions? I’ve applied to tax so not sure what to expect! Good luck!

There were 4 questions in the video interview section - 1 motivational and 3 situational but dont worry about it because they give you unlimited prep time for each question
