How to Prepare for the Online Assessment
PwC UK's Online Assessment consists of two parts - a behavioural assessment and a cognitive ability assessment. The assessment is provided by SHL.
⌛️ Overall Time Needed to Practice: 2 days
⏰ Overall Time Needed to Complete the Test: 45 minutes
Behavioural Assessment:
It is very similar to a personality questionnaire. You will be provided with multiple statements, and you will need to choose the one that best describes you. In order to be successful in this part of the assessment, you need to understand what PwC is looking for, its corporate culture and its values. Your answers need to closely align with them.
There's no time limit to complete this part of the assessment. This part normally takes around 20 minutes to complete.
Cognitive Ability Assessment:
PwC's cognitive ability assessment consists of several business-like scenarios that will assess your level of critical reasoning as well as your numerical ability. You'll be using your problem-solving, numerical and logical reasoning to answer questions that are presented to you.
This part of the assessment has 8 questions, and you have 12 minutes to complete them. If you practice our set of questions and become comfortable with them, you can easily pass this part of the assessment.
In order to be successful in PwC's Cognitive Ability Assessment, we advise you to practice our Numerical Reasoning Tests and Logical Reasoning Tests with a focus on SHL Style Practice Tssts in each category.
