Anyone else who applied for SA class of 2018 have to take this Pymetrics games assessment for CS? Does it have an impact on your application? I took something similar for PwC in the fall, and the recruiter told me it was for data collection and has no effect on your application
Credit Suisse Pymetrics
It is currently unclear how Credit Suisse weighs the results of the Pymetrics test. However, these "games" are repackaged versions of psychometric tests. Test scores are most likely used in conjunction with other applicant information as a part of initial screening. The invitation to to the Pymetrics tests should be sent to you after submitting your application.
The tests should be treated the same as any other psychometric test. You should focus on both speed and accuracy when completing the tests. While there are no right or wrong results there are favorable profiles. The closer you score to there ideal candidate the better. Below is helpful video for taking psychometric tests.
