How did everyone find the KPMG online assessment? Was it similar to the interactive SHL practice tests (numerical/logical) on their website, or did it feel a bit different?
Not looking for specifics, just a general idea of what to expect and how best to prepare. Cheers!

It was similar to the practice tests on the SHL website. I am really bad at SHL tests so I found it very difficult. There were 24 questions to answer in 36 minutes and I always do really badly on those tests.

One thing you'll see when repeating SHL tests is that they're surprisingly repetitive
Try getting Jobtestprep or try grinding out random applications with companies that use SHL 36 minutes 24 questions type tests
With enough applications you'll at least be able to figure out how to get started with just a few seconds of reading a question which should be enough to add at least 3-4 more questions that you can answer well which could make a world of difference

I've done quite a few SHL tests of that type now and I've started to notice how some of the questions are identical. I've been able to save some time by looking at my workings out that I did in the past so hopefully now I can save enough time doing that to get a few more questions done.

Do you know which firms are using SHL for their online assessments?

Yeah maybe I should've applied earlier lmao.

Since people from London are getting VI invites, I’ve just checked my portal (I applied for Manchester) and my status has changed from being on hold to my application being under review
