Dear All,

I applied for Entry Level consultant position at EY (Not EY Pathreon). From the job desc, it seems clear that it's more strategy consultant rather than accounting related position.

However, I just got invitation for the preliminary written test which include Numerical Reasoning, reading comprehension Problem solving, IT Test and Accounting Principle.

My questions

1) For the Accounting Principle test (35 Mins) What would be the most likely material to be tested ? WHere should I study from ? Any website/Material/Concept ?

note:I am an engineer with no accounting background and only have 48 hours

2) Any clue about IT test ?

Thank you so much

Hi there,

Of course, I want to leave the Q&A open for those that have had this interview and can share their experiences, but I'd also recommend you do the following:

  1. Google a bit to see what you can expect
  2. Reach out to HR to get more information (and post the response here to get our input)
