Next steps after failing online assessment.
Hi Annabelle, Hope you are having a wonderful day. To begin with, I really apologise if you are not the right person to raise this concern with. My name is Medi, a 2024 graduate from London. I have recently applied for a role at EY. Unfortunately, I have failed the online assessment. Honestly, it was my first time ever performing in such assessments, and I was quite a bit nervous. I feel like I have failed myself, as I was looking forward to this the most. Especially since working in assurance in one of the top firms have been a dream of mine. I am happy to apply after 6 months, however I do not want to be met with disappointment again. If it is possible, would you be able to share any thing that I could implement carrying forward. Or if there is another way to get myself started to be working at EY. I am deeply sorry if I sound desperate. But I want to take this moment as a learning opportunity and would appreciate any advice you might offer. Thank you, Medi 694380

Hi Medi
Thank you very much for your question and I am sorry to hear you did not pass the online assessment.
Firstly, please don't feel as though you have failed yourself - these tests are not easy and many people do not pass the first stage, for various different reasons.
My advice would be to do some free practice assessments online, as many websites offer these for EY's first assessment stage and then to reapply when time permits. You have already experienced what the online assessment is like, so next time, before taking the assessment, make sure to relax and try to calm your nerves as much as possible as this will give you the best chance of success. Read through each question carefully and answer as best you think and as best suits your personality for the more subjective questions.
We are not looking for perfection, so do not think you need to try to answer in a way that EY wants you to - be you, try hard and do not rush the assessment. If you do this, I am sure you will be very successful in the application process.
When time permits, definitely reapply. I wish you the best of luck with your future assessments.
