EY online assessment practice: what to expect and how to prepare
Written and maintained by CKAutoFlow
EY UK says student applicants complete a series of online assessments designed for the business area they choose, and runs its own free practice hub. Prep providers describe tasks such as ranking responses, written exercises, video questions and, for some roles, timed numerical reasoning. This guide focuses on the reasoning skills you can practise.
Scope at a glance
EY UK uses online assessments tailored to each business area. Use EY’s own practice hub for the format and practise numerical and verbal reasoning here.
What EY says
EY UK’s student application page says you will complete online assessments designed to show your potential for the business area you chose. Its FAQ notes that if you are unsuccessful at any stage you need to wait six months before applying again to an EY student vacancy, so it is worth preparing before you start.
Skills to practise
- Numerical reasoning: percentages, ratios and reading charts with data interpretation questions.
- Careful reading: True/False/Cannot Say passages on the verbal reasoning page.
- Judgement tasks: use EY’s own practice hub to learn how ranking and written tasks look.
Original example: percentage point vs percent
Market share rose from 20% to 25%.
- That is a rise of 5 percentage points.
- As a relative change it is 5 ÷ 20 = 25%.
- Read which one the question asks for before choosing an answer.
