Apprenticeship vs Internship/Grad Tests at BBs - are they the same?

Hi all,

Was just wondering whether or not the tests for prospective applicants to an apprenticeship at the likes of Goldman, DB, and others who offer apprenticeships are the same in nature as the ones in spring/summer internships, or a graduate role?

Can't see a reason why they wouldn't be, but then again these FO apprenticeships are few and far between.

Probably? They don't test any specialized knowledge, it's literally just numerical skills, critical thinking, and non-verbal reasoning. Nothing you can't do without a GCSE level education.
