So I've been "prepping" for these online assessments. However, despite the questions being easy, they are relatively time consuming, and I find myself answering an average of 10/20 questions (particularly accurate for the numerical assessment). What would you guys recommend doing? How many are you guys usually able to answer correctly? Thanks in advance.

bro it's not that deep just try your best, no need to stress or prepare for it. If you can't make the minimum threshold then idk if banking is for you
What would you say is the minimum threshold?
Obvi I don't have clear inside info but my friends have gotten as low as a 7/20 and still got interviews lol
"If you can't make the minimum threshold then idk if banking is for you" - this is such BS. OP, I believe anyone can score well on these tests once they understand how to do them properly. I recommend signing up to JobTestPrep and going through however many practice tests you require in order to score well. To make sure you actually improve, pay close attention the answer explanations of the Qs you got wrong.
All the best!
Thanks. The problem is unfortunately my speed not accuracy, so I'll definitely continue to practice.
Does anyone have a rough estimate of how many questions right? Ex for CS how many out of 18?
When I recruited and did CS I got the first round from answering 9/18 questions for both math and reading. Prob got 6-7 right out of those 9 I answered. That being said YMMV since I had a 4.0 at an Ivy and maybe they look at it holistically so they gave me the benefit of the doubt or don't consider it at all.
Curios to know about these online tests. Are they developed by the company or is it a vanilla test like wallstreet prep?
Since when did GS have these? and aren't the JPM ones non-numerical? (for IBD)
