Top Tips for EY's Assessment

Practice Beforehand

Familiarity with game formats significantly reduces anxiety and improves performance. Research shows 60-80% of candidates fail assessments without preparation.

Be Authentic

EY looks for genuine behavioral patterns that align with their values. The assessment captures consistent patterns across tasks, so respond naturally rather than trying to game it.

Minimise Distractions

Complete the assessment in a quiet environment. Many tasks require sustained concentration and interruptions will directly affect your scores.

Allow Enough Time

Block out at least 60 minutes so you're not rushed. Feeling time pressure affects decision-making and can skew your behavioral results.
