I am a current first year student at the University of Nottingham and I have wanted to work at EY for a long time as it is a company I respect. However, whilst applying for the Discover EY programme i was rejected at the numerical reasoning test phase. Given how I really want to develop a relationship with EY in the future any advice would be appreciated as I look to apply for internships and industrial placements.
Hi Naved - thank you for your question. The best advice we can give to students who are at the Numerical Reasoning stage is to practice using online tests. We use Capp and they have lots of practice tests online. The tests are measured on both speed and accuracy so practice makes perfect and getting used to the styles of questions. You can also use Assessment Days on Capp as there are lots of resources there for you.
Thank you very much for your advice. I have been rather anxious as of late as to how I would get past this stage so once again thank you for your advice.
Hi Naved - this is a very difficult stage and remember that you're not alone in that so please keep practicing and make sure you're confident with answering under time conditions.
Hi Verity, I would just like to clarify is Assessment Days a website you recommend for practice?

Thank you very much Lucy. I will be practicing all of these tests during the summer holidays in preparation for my application for summer internships in 2021. Any other websites you recommend would be highly appreciated
That's all the one's we'd recommend Naved. Best of luck with your application!
