This section may appear as "Work Simulation" or "Working at Amazon". During the simulation, you’ll encounter emails and audio recordings and will need to solve technically oriented questions. These tasks require analytical thinking, formal and professional responses, and incorporate situational and personality-based elements. Your answers should align with Amazon’s Leadership Principles.

While the exact questions in the real assessment may vary depending on the technical knowledge required for your role, our simulation will prepare you for the overall structure and format of the Working at Amazon assessment.

Each module mirrors a segment of the actual assessment, featuring realistic details and questions. You can practise with either a timed or untimed version to suit your preferences.

All questions include answers and detailed explanations that highlight the Leadership Principles behind each scenario and clarify why specific responses are most effective.

The Work Style Assessment is a personality-based test that typically follows the Work Simulation. It evaluates your work behaviours to determine if they align with Amazon’s distinct culture and Leadership Principles.

Our practice simulation includes 40 questions closely resembling those on the actual test. Each question is accompanied by a detailed explanation of the preferred answer and the specific Leadership Principle it addresses.

The "Working at Amazon" assessment is a relatively new test introduced by the company and is gradually being applied to more roles.

While the structure and flow of the assessment remain consistent across candidates, the questions are tailored to the specific requirements of each role. For this reason, our preparation focuses on Amazon’s primary recruitment criteria: its Leadership Principles.

The assessment involves processing emails and voice recordings that provide data about the projects you’re involved in. You’ll then need to make technical and behavioural decisions, demonstrating your analytical thinking, work tendencies, professionalism, and understanding of Amazon’s Leadership Principles.

Tasks include answering multiple-choice questions, ranking options based on effectiveness, or recording your own responses. This section typically lasts between 60 and 80 minutes.

Here’s an example from our preparation pack:

Imagine being thrust into the role of an Amazonian, navigating the challenges they face every day. Picture this: you’re an Amazon Program Manager preparing for Black Friday, and it’s your job to decide which product deserves the spotlight. How will you prioritise?

In this test, you’re presented with operational data—such as costs—and conflicting opinions from team members. Through a series of emails, you’ll need to analyse the information, weigh your options, and make a well-informed decision.

The Work Simulation Test isn’t just about what you decide; it’s about how you approach the problem, showing your ability to think critically, collaborate effectively, and align with Amazon’s Leadership Principles.

Here’s an example from our preparation pack:

Your responses to these dilemmas will directly impact your score, so how should you tackle them effectively?

To stand out, you’ll need to showcase both sound judgment and decisive leadership. One of the best tools at your disposal is Amazon’s 16 Leadership Principles (or LPs, as Amazonians call them). To succeed, put yourself in the mindset of the "ideal" Amazon leader and respond in a way that aligns with these principles.

The preparation pack available on this page includes a variety of realistic work scenarios. You’ll have the chance to submit your carefully considered responses and receive detailed feedback, along with in-depth explanations to refine your approach.

Work Simulation Sample Question for 2025

Based on the available data, rate the following options from 1 to 4. Rate "1" for most needs to be improved and "4" to least needs to be improved (each rating option can be used more than once).

View Explanation

In this question, your goal is to identify trends and rate them according to their urgency for improvement. When we rate, we judge an option in relation to itself and not in relation to other options, but we keep the same scale for all our ratings.

What is a trend? A trend is a general direction in which something is changing.

Try to recognize trends by looking at the given data.

Referring to the first option, there are two factors which we should check their trends when determining how to rate it. The first factor is the number of transactions, and the second is the percentage of crashes of the server. We can identify the trend for each and check if there is a correlation between them. We can see that while the number of transactions goes down (100 → 85 → 70) the % of crashes of the server goes up (+1% → +1% → +1%). Option 1 says that the problem is that the server crashes due to many transactions, but according to the data, the percentage of crashes stays positive- so there is no correlation between the two factors; therefore, this option is not relevant and we can rate it "4".

Referring to the second option, the relevant row which we should look at is row three. According to the data, the percentage does not change so much (+1% → +1% → +1%), but the fact that it stays positive means that there is a growth of the problem.

There is a slight linear growth of the problem, thus we should rate it "2".

Referring to the third option, in the first row (% Payment method was not accessible to a customer), there is a noticeable upward trend from 3% on the first week, to 5% on the second, and 9% on the third. This trend shows an escalation in a bad situation, and thus it needs to be improved immediately. We can rate the third option to be "1".

Referring to the fourth option, on the second row (% Payments declined for an unexpected reason) we see the opposite: a noticeable downward trend. The meaning of this trend is that every week there are fewer situations that payments are declined for an unexpected reason. This is a totally positive thing thus we can rate the fourth option to be "4".

The Amazon work simulation questions require trained judgment and logical skills. But there's another main reason understanding it is crucial - the way you choose to answer helps Amazon assess your prioritization and way of thinking as a potential worker.
