Parents of Successful PWC Applicant 2025
Congratulations on submitting your application. The next step is KPMG Stage 2 Online Assessments. This replaces what was previously called Transforming Small Businesses. This page explains the new structure and how to prepare with confidence.
Green Turn is the market leader and the only specialist company worldwide that teaches candidates how to secure a Big Four job through training delivered by former Big Four employees. Our team has nineteen years of success helping people move into top firms.
KPMG now runs two assessments at Stage 2.
Skills Assessment. This is untimed. Most people finish in about twenty minutes. You see short work style situations and you choose how you would respond. This links to our preparation for Situational Judgement, Strengths, and Critical Thinking strengths.
Cognitive Assessment. This is timed for thirty six minutes. It includes numerical and logical reasoning with some written interpretation. KPMG states that this part uses SHL format.
Although KPMG names SHL, our materials also prepare you for common styles from Saville, Cappfinity and Cubiks. Many candidates for the 2026 cycle told us that some tasks looked similar to Cappfinity formats.
Personal coaching. Alongside self study packs, you can book online or in person coaching to focus on your own weak areas.
We split Skills into focused pages so you can check and train each area.
This part focuses on Numerical, Logical which is also called Deductive, and Verbal reasoning in SHL format.
Transforming Small Businesses refers to the same stage that KPMG now calls Online Assessments.
Skills. You will see behaviour and situation items that link to KPMG strengths. Prepare with our pages on SJT, Strengths and Critical Thinking strengths.
Cognitive. You will answer numerical questions, review data in charts and tables, and solve short logic problems. Some questions include short written passages.
Practice with realistic timing. Use items that match SHL format. Use a desktop or laptop and a strong internet connection. Chrome works well.

KPMG states SHL for delivery of tests such as Numerical and Verbal. Content design often follows Saville, Cappfinity and Cubiks principles. Our materials cover these points so you are fully ready.
Your Stage 2 performance stays on record and is reviewed with your later stages which include the Video Interview and Launch Pad. Aim for top band scores in both Skills and Cognitive to give yourself the best chance of an offer.
Choose the modules that target your weaker areas or combine them with personal coaching.
