Culture Match

The UBS Culture Match assessment is essentially a situational judgement test. The assessment entails reading some scenarios or watching videos and rating given responses to scenarios as most effective or least effective. There will be 18 questions during the assessment, and those questions will be designed to assess the behaviours required to succeed in day-to-day work at UBS. The assessment is not timed, and it may take 30 minutes to complete this part of the assessment.

In order to successfully pass this part of the assessment, you can practice our Situational Judgement Tests, which include ranking-style questions that help you understand corporate culture and what employers might be looking for.

Numerical Reasoning Assessment

This assessment is designed to assess your numerical skills and attention to detail. During this assessment, you will be asked to perform some calculations based on the information provided.

The test contains 37 questions, and you will be given 12 minutes to complete. If you cannot complete all of them, do not worry. Most people cannot complete all 37 questions in 12 minutes. During the assessment, you will be presented with some charts and diagrams and asked to make judgements on the statements given, whether the statement is True, False or Cannot Be Determined (Cannot Say)

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 Two and become comfortable with them, you can easily pass this part of the assessment.
