Evelyn Partners Assessment Practice
Preparation guide for Evelyn Partners's assessment process, covering what the evidence shows and what it does not
What the evidence actually shows
Evelyn Partners is a UK wealth management and professional services group, formed from the combination of Tilney and Smith & Williamson. Test Partnership publishes an attributed testimonial from Nina Voitenko, Early Careers Coordinator at the firm, and Evelyn Partners appears on its homepage customer logo wall.
The job title is the useful part: this is early-careers evidence rather than firm-wide evidence. The testimonial names no test, so which of Test Partnership's products you meet is not established. Read the invitation email, which names the product.
Where the assessment sits in the process

Top Tips
Numerical reasoning is the likely core, so practise the clock
For investment and accountancy routes, numerical reasoning is the format to get comfortable with, and Test Partnership's version is unusual: five question sets of three, three minutes per set, ten near-miss options per question and a calculator expected. Practise reading the chart once rather than three times.
Ten options means estimating will not save you
Test Partnership's real sample options run a tenth of a percentage point apart. There is no eyeballing a ten-option ladder, which is exactly why the option list is designed that way on a test with no wrong-answer penalty.
If it is untimed, take the time
If you are sent the Perceptions situational judgement test or the TPAQ questionnaire, neither has a clock. Working quickly there buys you nothing at all.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Evelyn Partners use Test Partnership?
Test Partnership names Evelyn Partners as a customer through an attributed testimonial from its Early Careers Coordinator, plus a homepage logo. That is the provider saying so, it is undated, and no specific test is named.
What is the format of the numerical test?
Five question sets of three questions, with a three-minute limit on each set rather than on each question, ten answer options per question, and a calculator and rough paper expected. Test Partnership states all of that on its own instruction screen.
How is the result reported?
As a percentile against a norm group, a sten score from 1 to 10, and a verbal band. No pass mark is published for any Test Partnership product: employers set their own.
