Morgan Stanley Online Assessment Test Tip - Sales & Trading

I have just completed MS Online Assessments and wanted to share my tips:
the tests are Numerical Reasoning, Inductive Reasoning & Situational Judgement. Id advice test candidates to really polish up on their numerical skills & graph reading under time pressure before taking this. Cut-E site does give examples and several other resources online . For Situationals, theres no right or wrong answer but its always good to read the companys missions and culture to have an idea of the work culture & lastly , Inductives are also the same examples on Cut - E and theres valuable resources online to practice. Im glad I took this and now have a feel of what to expect in other online assessments of the same job description so can really practice. Another good thing is they give you feedback on your performance!
