Congratulations on passing the Ernst & Young first interview stage and reaching the final hurdle of Ernst & Young assessment centre. Almost 90% of the applicants couldn’t make it through to this stage so really give yourself a pat at the back for clearing the Ernst & Young application, numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning, logical reasoning and the first interview stages.

Stage four of the Ernst & Young application process is for you to attend an assessment centre and take some further tests. You would have been provided the link by Ernst & Young to confirm a convenient date for your assessment centre. You will be tested on a Group exercise, Report Writing Case Study exercise, Role Play exercise and will retake Numerical Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Diagrammatic Logical Reasoning tests. Please aim to attend the Ernst & Young assessment centre once after you’d practiced our relevant material to give yourself best chance to succeed.

Ernst & Young has designed the assessment centre to simulate tasks around real office environment, to assess applicants against the Ernst & Young core strengths.

Ernst & Young Report Writing Exercise is designed by a company called ‘Saville Consulting’

Saville Consulting is a renowned global occupational psychology consultancy that publishes various psychometric tests for Ernst & Young worldwide. Saville Consulting is also the developer of Ernst & Young Group exercise, Ernst & Young Report Writing Case Study exercise, Ernst & Young Role Play exercise, Ernst & Young numerical reasoning tests, Ernst & Young verbal reasoning tests, Ernst & Young logical reasoning tests.

The competencies stated on the Ernst & Young website do not give out much detail about the Ernst & Young report writing exercise and further details you’d expect to face during the real Ernst & Young assessment centre. Please remember that the real Ernst & Young report writing exercise is far difficult than you perceive thus we strongly suggest you to prepare specific practice material such as ours. You will be fully prepared for the Ernst & Young assessment day after practicing Green Turn’s preparation material. Read more.

Ernst & Young Written Reports Case Study exercise is business report writing and analytical skills assessment exercise

You will be provided a briefing information pack to analyse and write two concise reports on laptop within 40 minutes, one to the fictional EY Client and second to EY Manager. First report is to assess your analytical and business report writing skills. Second report is used to understand your work ethics and cultural fit in Ernst & Young.

The objective of this Report Writing exercise is to assess your business writing, work ethos and communication skills. This report exercise cleverly simulates the actual tasks that you would expect to do daily at Ernst & Young such as communicating with your seniors and with the client professionally.

You will receive a company / topic related information in an “information pack” and expect to summarise and conclude on all important points, in a professional matter within the tight time frame. This is a critical factor to be observed when dealing with the high profile clients as you’d expect to operate professionally with the Ernst & Young clients at work all the time. Read more.

The time allocated by Ernst & Young to tackle the Report Writing Exercise is insufficient. To give you a gist of the tests’ difficulty level, if you attempt to take Ernst & Young report writing exercise without relevant practice then you’d end up scoring below 50% and would fail this stage of recruitment process, which is the case with 92% of the remaining applicants.

You are expected to use your business judgement, time management, client persuasiveness and problem solving skills in most of the client facing roles in Ernst & Young. Scoring well in the Ernst & Young role play exercise would give Ernst & Young clear indication of your capabilities at work.

You will score 1-5 marks for answering correctly against each “Strength Spotter scenario”. Your responses will be manually recorded and reviewed by the recruitment team. Normally the Ernst & Young Manager will be the assessor for report writing exercise, after reviewing your reports and based on their discussion with you they will input their feedback on your performance and grading against each competency applicable to this test.

Performing successfully at Ernst & Young written report exercise to an ‘acceptable level’ would let you pass this stage of the recruitment process. However your overall passing marks will be taken into consideration thoroughly after the assessment centre to assess whether to offer you the job or not, therefore you should aim to achieve maximum score for each of the recruitment exercises.

Lunch with the Ernst & Young colleagues

You will meet Ernst & Young trainees and seniors at lunch where you will discuss your questions, career aspirations and hear about their views of life at Ernst & Young. The lunch will last for nearly 40 minutes. You will be informally assessed by Ernst & Young trainees and seniors at lunch for ethics and manners, as after the assessment centre they will be consulted to confirm about your work behaviour and their views about you as a potential team member after meeting with you. This would help the firm in making up mind whether to offer you the job or not. Read more.

Introduction to “Ernst & Young marking system for 2013 applicants”

Each applicant is assessed against Ernst & Young core strengths during the five stage recruitment process. EY is the only company amongst Big Four which has taken a different approach than testing via Competencies. EY believes that the “Strengths Based Assessments” are much effective as compared to the “Competency Based Assessments”.

Ernst & Young has set specific priorities of testing these strengths at each of the five stages.Ernst & Young believe that these core strengths’ framework assessments would lay out a success pattern required in the trainee entrant at Ernst & Young.

It is assumed by Ernst & Young that if an applicant could demonstrate such skill strengths during the five assessment stages successfully then they’d automatically become a perfect match for the firm.

If you could demonstrate the right skills set for each of the five stages’ exercises and obtain certain PASS MARKS in each of the assessments then you will secure a job in Ernst & Young. It is really as simple as that. From our specific practice material you will learn the right skill set to obtain the maximum marks per competency per stage.

Green Turn has researched for the past 10 years to genuinely understand Ernst & Young Strength Based Assessment Centre Exercises’ pass marks structure. Please read our preparation material for further details. Read more.
