KPMG online assessment practice: numerical and logical reasoning
Written and maintained by CKAutoFlow
KPMG UK’s application pages describe an online cognitive assessment that reviews numerical and logical reasoning, followed by later interview and assessment-day stages. Prep providers describe the graduate version as a scenario-based exercise. This guide covers the skills it tests and how to practise them.
Scope at a glance
KPMG UK describes a cognitive assessment of numerical and logical reasoning. Practise data interpretation and figure rules, then follow the instructions in your invitation.
What KPMG says
KPMG UK’s application-process page lists a cognitive assessment that reviews numerical and logical reasoning. Its online-assessment video transcript adds that there is a numerical element but that it is not a traditional numerical reasoning test. Formats differ between graduate, apprentice and country programmes, so treat your invitation as the source of truth.
Skills to practise
- Reading tables and charts accurately, then calculating percentages and ratios: data interpretation questions.
- Finding a rule and checking it against every example: figure series questions.
- Reading carefully under time pressure: verbal reasoning passages.
Original example: choose the right base
A client’s costs fell from 500 to 450 while revenue stayed at 600.
- Cost reduction = 50 ÷ 500 = 10%.
- Profit rose from 100 to 150, a 50% increase: (150 − 100) ÷ 100.
- Each question names a different base. Underline it before calculating.
Put the method into practice
After the 24-hour full-feature trial, get 10 random new questions per practice type (10 lifetime memory rounds) and use each solver 10 times for free, with no daily reset. Paid access unlocks new generated questions and continued solving with 7-day access.
