Sky graduate scheme 2023

Hi all,
Just finished the first digital assessment for Sky.
I applied for the strategy division.
Has anyone else applied/got through to the second assessment?

Pretty standard stuff really, untimed job simulation with numerical tests and SJTs. Think about the role and operations of your department, and have paper and a calculator handy.

Congrats! Did you have to record your answers at any point in the first assessment?

Nope, just SJT and numerical questions. The second assessment has video questions according to the email.

I believe the second assessment would be the work scenario questions? The video one. Is there a place to practice this? how do you practice work place scenario interview questions?

Just so i'm sure, after you apply, you do a test thats just numerical and sjt (depending on the team you applied to unless the test are the same). Then the video interview (like job simulation). Any verbal reasoning or deductive reasoning? Thanks

Software Engineering here, just completed the third assessment(Digital 2), hopefully, I pass this one. Any idea how many stages there are?

If anyone knows any resources, I would also appreciate this! Haven't had much chance to prepare this year for video Qs. Just got through to the next assessment today! :smile:

Has anyone got a response following the digital assessment two (video interview)? Or does anyone know how long they'll take to respond?

From what I’ve read on other forums it could take up to a week or even a few days depending how busy they are. How did you find the video assessment? Did it require any real preparation or is it mostly using the information they give?

Thanks, is it like a scenario thing, and you have to respond to the scenario?

Reply 17

Just completed, it’s scenario based yes. Would give an example of a problem or project at sky and ask how you’d respond to certain situations. Not really any way you can prepare tbh, just try to be confident with your answers really :smile:

Are these answers timed? And how long is the assessment overall?
