Investment Banking Online Numerical Tests

Hey, guys. Another recruiting season is coming soon! For those of you who struggle with online numerical tests (SHL, Kenexa, Elements), I offer my help and advice.

Please pm me if interested.

Thanks.

 

hey!

I want to apply for Deloitte summer vacation scheme and was wondering what are good prep resources.I have heard of graduatemonkey and assessmentday.

Are BIG 4 tests similar to IB online tests?

Thanks!

 

I have quite a lot of experience with SHL tests and have taken the Bar Cap one. Are you applying to London ? Anyhow. At this point I have no problem with SHL tests at all but this is becouse I ahve taken so many (and failed so many). I woudl advise you to just practice as crazy, ti certainly helps. When I was doing the tests, I eventually did so many that I started seeing repeating tests for different applications and I would already know the answers by heart.I also had a special set of Python functions that I used to tackle the most commonly occuring problems on the SHL. So yeah, if yoiu really put your mind to it and practice like crazy you will ace it. Also, have in mind those tests become very predictive once you take 20 of them (real ones). Just like the SAT... ;) And to answer your question. I would say that the actual tests are not more difficult than the practice ones...

 

Read the question first. Then attack the chart/charts. The reason is, there may be extra charts that you don't actually need to use. So if you addressed them first, you might waste a lot of valuable time on them if there are no actual questions on them.

HW Numerical Test:

What percentage of an MD's time is spent on analyst career development (i.e. going to bat for) at HW vs. other banks? - 83% against 2%

When does a HW MD go to bat for his analyst?

  • Trick question. They are constantly going to bat from day 1. First day of training Harris himself calls up Shwarzmann (sp?) to tell him they need to hire this kid.

An MD walks across the street. Why did he do it? - So he can go to bat for an analyst.

Okay those weren't super numerical, sue me. I'll get an HW MD to go to bat for me.
