BP graduate scheme 2025

I'm planning to apply to BP. How is the test? Is it an SJT or a numerical test?

Yes I received the invite 4 days after applying (26th September) but for the Trading & Shipping stream. They’ve closed applications for T&S yesterday though so I reckon if you haven’t received your invite yet they’re still screening applications for Production and Operations. Maybe drop them an email when it hits the 2 week mark :smile:

Oh that's great, how did the test go for you?
Yeah, I did reach out yesterday and just got the generic reply saying they've got a lot of applications and I should be patient, best believe I get an invite soonest, it would be terribly funny if I don't even get past the first stage 😂😭

I didn’t know they closed T&S early. Does it mean other graduate roles are closed?

Can't really say, you can give it a go and see what happens

I just checked , just commercial and people& culture that are still open. It’s surprising they don’t have a lot of roles open this year compared to last year

Yeah they tend to also recruit from summer interns so if they have more interns accepting grad positions they tend to have less positions available for newer candidates applying which kinda sucks

Test went okay, I’m trying not to overthink my summary report though! Hopefully it passed their threshold but I’ll keep you guys posted.

Typical SJT, behavioural, and switch challenge which wasn’t particularly tricky

Fingers crossed you get your invite soon, you’ll smash it x

Apply for a different role, you can still get an invite, being rejected for commercial before the actual test doesn't mean you do not qualify, I know someone who got rejected for process and then applied for HR and he got shortlisted, now he has done the test and waiting for video interview invite
does anyone know how great your feedback from the SJT and behavioural has to be to have a chance at hearing a positive call back ?

No idea ☹️ I’m assuming the more ‘more likely than most to XYZ’ is a positive, but can’t call it tbh

you should start preparing for the ODVI and best of luck to you!Literally been refreshing my mail anytime I get hands on my phone, can't lie I am bracing myself for the 'unfortunately' email as it has been two weeks since I applied, still got a tint of hope that I get an invite for the online assessment. I imagine the whole process should take half a year
