KPMG Verbal Reasoning Test Preparation:

After you choose a convenient date from the options offered by KPMG, you will have roughly one to two weeks to prepare. As we all know, job tests can be daunting and how can you be fully confident of putting in a perfect performance if you lack Big Four experience? As long as you can show sufficient drive and enthusiasm, we will give you the support you need to land the job of your dreams. 

KPMG Verbal Reasoning Test Competency Criteria:

KPMG has created the verbal reasoning test to judge you against KPMG Behavioural capabilities criteria. The test will be time-restricted, so you must be able to cope with intense pressure. Our training will ensure that you are fully confident and ready to deal with any eventuality. Imagine the embarrassment and panic caused by ‘freezing up’ during the KPMG verbal reasoning test and you’ll realise just how crucial this is.

Although KPMG do list key Behavioural capabilities criteria on their website, they don’t provide many details on the initial and follow-up questions you can expect to face. However, you can draw on the experience of our experts, who have previously worked for Big Four firms, to give you a major advantage in this area.

KPMG Verbal Reasoning Test Details:

The software for this test has been developed for the company by Cubiks, a renowned global HR consultancy that publishes various psychometric tests for KPMG worldwide. If you get through to the assessment centre stage, which comes later in the job application process, you may have to resit this test. It is, therefore, crucial to start building up the necessary skills sooner rather than later.

The verbal reasoning tests usually come after the numerical reasoning tests and consist of a series of statements that you must determine as true, false or ‘cannot say’. There will be four questions per scenario, leading to a total of 40 questions (10x4) that must all be answered within 20 minutes. You are expected to demonstrate your business judgement and problem-solving skills.

KPMG will not give you an informational booklet for this stage, so you need the relevant information and guidance well in advance. Do not think that you will be able to guess your way through the numerical reasoning test, as you will be very much mistaken!

KPMG Verbal Reasoning Test Results:

Your performance during the verbal reasoning test will remain on record and is used in KPMG’s final deliberations to determine whether or not your application has been a success. It’s fully possible to successfully get through this stage by scoring a passing mark, yet fail to secure employment when KPMG recruiters take a look at your performances over the application process in its entirety.

KPMG grade your ability on each stage between 1 point and 5. It is assumed by KPMG that if an applicant can demonstrate ‘core capabilities’ and attain the full 5 marks during the verbal reasoning test process then they automatically become a perfect match for the firm.

This means you need to score the maximum 5 points on every single stage to set yourself apart from rival jobseekers and cannot afford to take a job test without having been properly prepared by Green Turn.
