Assessment practice

Graduate Schemes aptitude test practice

Most UK graduate schemes screen applicants with online aptitude tests, and numerical reasoning — reading data tables and charts under time pressure, usually in an SHL-style format — is the one that trips people up most. A full, timed mock is the fastest way to walk in ready.

Which tests to practise

Frequently asked questions

What aptitude tests do graduate schemes use?

Most use online numerical, verbal and sometimes logical/inductive reasoning tests as an early screen, commonly in an SHL-style format. Numerical reasoning is the most common across finance, consulting and commercial schemes.

How should I prepare?

Take a timed, full-length mock in the real format, review the worked solutions, then drill your weakest section. Doing it under the clock is what builds the speed the real test demands.
