Hi Chiara,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation from KPMG!

I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

First of all, I would be thrilled to help you in your preparation for the KPMG aptitude test.
While I do not know about this aptitude test in particular, I can provide you with aptitude tests from other consulting companies, as well as some general advice.
Aptitude tests assess your cognitive abilities, particularly in the areas of numerical reasoning and problem-solving. In order to thoroughly prepare for the KPMG aptitude test, I would advise you to familiarize yourself with basic mathematical concepts and operations, including percentages, ratios, and fractions. Moreover, you might also be asked to interpret data in the form of exhibits.
Lastly, I would advise you to practice as much as possible with online resources, such as sample aptitude tests you have been provided by KPMG.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there,

Happy to help you with that.

I have a few examples of such tests from multiple firms, multiple math drills and a proprietary guide that I usually share with my candidates on how to approach calculation questions.

Best,

Hi Chiara,

Happy to assist - feel free to shoot me a message!

Now, for the tests, remember that ultimately you will have to put in the work. As in, the best way you can prepare is by doing as many practice tests as possible and reviewing all questions/answers thoroughly to understand where you are right/wrong and why.

Answer 4

Hi there,

my advice

1) 80/20: Select a coach and book a session right away → he will give you specific resources if existing for KPMG test specifically or at minimum “narrow down” your preparation to the fundamentals

2) In parallel READ and PRACTICE IN A STRUCTURED WAY

→ READ: BCG, McK, GMAT preparation articles free or paid on this platform or elsewhere on the internet are very good in my opinion. Start by reading them

→ PRACTICE: a lot (volume matterss) and in a structured way: given clear “fundamentals” and preparation material.

a) Volume matters: Allow sufficient time for practice vs. timeline (would venture to say 18-20 h at least)

b) Be structured: e.g. focus on specifics per practice session, create a “mistake" dashboard and re-analyze your mistake to not repeat,etc …

Hope it helps
