Parents of Successful PWC Applicant 2024
Well done on successfully submitting your registration form! Approximately 50% of applicants won’t have made it this far, so you’re already performing above average! Now it’s time to take it to the next level. Stage seven of the Ernst and Young job application procedure is the inductive reasoning test. Depending on the service line you have applied to, you may instead be required to take Ernst and Young’s verbal reasoning test.
Once you’ve picked a convenient date from the options available, you will usually have a week or two to prepare. As we all know, job tests can be daunting and how can you be fully confident of putting in a perfect performance if you lack Big Four experience? Show us your passion and hard-working attitude and we will give you the support you require to land your dream job.
Ernst and Young have designed the inductive reasoning test to assess you against their key competencies criteria. The test will be time-limited, so you must be able to withstand pressure. Our training will ensure that you are fully confident and prepared for any eventuality. Imagine the embarrassment and panic caused by ‘freezing up’ during the Ernst and Young inductive reasoning test and you’ll realise just how important this is.
Although Ernst and Young do list key competencies criteria on their website, they don’t provide many details on the initial and follow-up questions you can expect to face. However, you can draw on the experience of our experts, who have previously worked for Big Four firms, to give you a major advantage in this area.
The relevant software has been developed for the company by Saville Consulting and Capp, renowned global HR consultancies which publish various psychometric tests for Ernst and Young worldwide. If you make it through to the assessment centre stage, which comes later in the job application process, you may have to resit this test. It is therefore crucial to start building up the necessary skills sooner rather than later. Capp management consulting firm produces EY Aptitude Tests and Situational Strength Tests, accessible here.
The inductive reasoning tests require you to observe symbolic patterns in a sequence of graphical scenarios. It is based on a multiple choice system, which offers five possible answers for each question. You must find a pattern then apply your theory by checking if that logic fits with the next set of figures. There will be one question per scenario, resulting in 12 questions that must be answered inside 12 minutes. You are expected to demonstrate your logical reasoning, time management and problem solving skills.
Ernst and Young will not provide you with an informational booklet in preparation for this stage, so you need the relevant information and guidance well in advance. Do not think that you can successfully guess your way through the inductive reasoning test, as you will be sorely mistaken.
Your performance during the inductive reasoning test will be kept on permanent record and used during Ernst and Young’s final deliberations to determine whether or not you have got the job. It’s more than possible to successfully get through this stage by attaining a passing grade, yet fail to secure employment when Ernst and Young recruiters take a look at your collective performances over the whole application process.
Ernst and Young grade your ability on each stage between 1 point and 5. It is assumed by Ernst and Young that if an applicant can demonstrate ‘core capabilities’ and attain the full 5 marks during the inductive reasoning test process then they automatically become a perfect match for the firm.
This means you need to score the maximum 5 points on every single stage to set yourself apart from rival jobseekers and cannot afford to take a job test without having been properly prepared by Green Turn.
