Student & Graduate Recruitment Process

How to Prepare for the Online Assessment

Amazon's Online Assessment may consist of 3 to 4 sections, which include Working with the Team, Working with Metrics, Previous Experiences and Amazon Work Styles. The assessment is provided by SHL.

⌛️ Overall Time Needed to Practice: 4 days

⏰ Overall Time Needed to Complete the Test: 60 - 75 minutes

Working with the Team:

This section presents written scenarios focusing on workplace ethics, team management, and decision-making. You will play the role of a manager, and your goal is to ensure that your team creates high-quality work that is delivered on time to customers. During the assessment, you will be given some scenarios based on which you need to decide whether the provided response is effective or not.

This assessment is not timed but typically takes 15 minutes.

In order to effectively prepare for these questions, you can practise our Situational Judgement Tests, where we explain the values and strengths that most UK employers are looking for, and you can put your learning into practice, too.

Working with Metrics

Numerical and verbal reasoning plays an important role at Amazon. This assessment is designed to assess your numerical and verbal skills and attention to detail. During this assessment, you will be asked to perform some calculations based on the information provided.

This part of the assessment has 15 questions. This assessment is not timed, and you will need to complete it in 60 minutes, though the test itself may only take 30 minutes to complete. The speed and accuracy of your calculation will be taken into consideration when calculating your final results. If you practice our set of Numerical Reasoning questions, with a focus on Challenge Zone: Assessment One and become comfortable with them, you can easily pass this part of the assessment.

Previous Experiences

This part of the assessment only takes 2 minutes and asks you about your previous experience of working in teams, leadership, time management and other strengths. While you do not need to prepare for this assessment, it will be helpful to take some time to think about your past experiences.

Work Styles Assessment

In this assessment, each question will display two statements. You will need to choose the statement that best matches your work style. If you are unsure about which statement to choose, follow your initial reaction to choose one and keep going. There are no right or wrong answers.

Although you do not need to prepare for this assessment beforehand, you can practise our Situational Judgement Tests, where we explain the values and strengths that most UK employers are looking for. It will help you align your answers more closely.
