KPMG Transforming Small Businesses Online Assessment Accurate Preparation

KPMG Cappfinity's online test known as "transforming small businesses assessment" has 6 sections containing a total of 28 behavioural and cognitive questions. The behavioural questions have situational judgment and personality character, while the cognitive questions are of numerical reasoning style.

The test is a job simulation mimicking a KPMG work environment - and it reflects in two manners:

• Different dilemmas and scenarios inspired by KPMG's employee's daily routine.
• A LOT of information in various forms. From videos that simulate conference calls with colleagues, to emails from customers or managers, graphs, tables, and articles.

1. Personality
2. Situational Judgment
3. Situational Judgment
4. Cognitive
5. Cognitive
6. Situational Judgment

• Personality and situational judgment (SJT) are both types of behavioral questions. The SJTs will measure your ability to respond to given scenarios, while personality questions will evaluate your natural tendencies and characteristics.
• The cognitive questions in the test will test your graph analysis and numerical reasoning skills.

Tip: There is no time limit for the test, although KPMG’s recommendation is to clear about 90 minutes for the test. We recommend clearing between 90-120 minutes for the test. Also make sure you have a pen, paper, and a calculator.

KMPG, a major player in the finance industry and one of the Big 4 accountancy firms (along with PwC, Deloitte, and EY), uses difficult and challenging questions to sift out most candidates and leave only the best for further consideration.

The purpose of the test is to identify how you will function when you encounter different situations and dilemmas as part of your daily work in KPMG. Thus, you will be presented with a lot of information in various forms: videos that simulate conference calls with colleagues, emails from customers or managers, graphs, and articles.

Based on these information sources, you will have to answer various behavioral and cognitive questions while paying attention that your answers align with the company's core values.

Therefore, the most elementary preparation to ace this challenging test is to take it when you are alert and mindful. Perhaps read a few articles before the test or analyze a graph or two to sharpen your mind.

A large part of a company's consultant's role is to advise start-up companies on how to properly navigate changing market conditions. Basic knowledge in the fields of entrepreneurship, business strategies, and emerging technologies will help you understand better the scenarios that will be presented to you in the test and will help find better solutions and courses of action.

The job ad for your position contains an invaluable source of information as to the required traits and competencies for your position.

Before practicing, it is very wise to set some time to go over the ad, analyse the required competencies and assign them to the relevant competency dimensions. This will help you focus on the major traits for your desired job, as well as personalize your practice.

One of the most important attributes for success in KPMG assessment is to know their core values by heart and keep them in mide while answering behavioral questions.

The six core values of KPMG are:

• Integrity – Doing what is right
• Excellence – Constantly learning and improving
• Courage – Acting with confidence and creating bold solutions
• Together – Working as a team and finding strength in our diversity
• For Better – Doing what matters
