Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation from Deloitte!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • First of all, I would advise you to research and/or contact the recruiter to find out more about this particular pre-interview assessment.
  • Moreover, in general, most pre-interview assessments are quite similar in the sense that they focus on numerical/verbal/abstract reasoning and include some form of (pseudo) psychometrics. There are many free online resources to practice, such as the SHL practice tests.

You can find more on this topic here: How to succeed in the final interview round.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming Deloitte pre-interview assessment and/or interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hey! 

From my experience and mentees I know that the Behavioral Assessment evaluates how you respond to workplace scenarios, so it's important to align your answers with Deloitte’s core values, such as integrity, teamwork, and client commitment. 

Think like a consultant by demonstrating structured thinking, adaptability, and ethical judgment while prioritizing teamwork and stakeholder management.

 Consistency across different scenarios is crucial, and practicing situational judgment tests from platforms like SHL or Talent Q can be helpful. For the Cognitive Assessment, which includes numerical, verbal, and logical reasoning, focus on improving your speed and accuracy. In numerical reasoning, practice interpreting graphs, percentages, and ratios while strengthening your mental math skills. For verbal reasoning, work on critical reading and comprehension under time constraints by identifying key details efficiently. Logical reasoning will test your pattern recognition and abstract thinking, so practicing with shape-based sequences is beneficial. Managing your time effectively during the test is critical, as these assessments are often time-pressured. Using practice platforms such as AssessmentDay, JobTestPrep, or Deloitte’s own resources (if available) can provide valuable experience.

Hey there, 

There are lots of cognitive assessment resources online that you can acquire or use to prepare for the online cognitive assessment. This would include all the questions around spacial awareness, verbal / logical / quantitative reasoning, etc. 

For the online behavioural assessment, this would be assessing your responses to set situations to get a sense of your decision making ability and fit against their values, principles and ways of working

All the best!
