Top Tips for BP's Assessment
Practice Beforehand
Familiarity with game formats significantly reduces anxiety and improves performance. Research shows 60-80% of candidates fail assessments without preparation.
Think About Risk and Complexity
BP operates in a high-stakes, complex environment. The assessment looks for candidates who can make sound decisions under uncertainty — a trait that comes through in the decision-making games.
Minimise Distractions
Complete the assessment in a quiet environment. Many tasks require sustained concentration and interruptions will directly affect your scores.
Be Consistent
The assessment captures patterns across multiple tasks. Respond naturally and consistently rather than trying to second-guess individual questions.
