How did you pass the online assessment and exams and how should I prepare I’ve been waiting a year for them to open!!

Hi, Thank you for your question. For the online assessments, think about the values when answering questions, e.g., proritising being bold. Try the practice questions beforehand. For the technical roles there will be a coding test, for non technical it focuses on interpreting data. Hope that helps.

Can you provide more information please

These are some of the things you may be asked to do (Our assessment process - Lloyds Banking Group plc):

• review some data and answer questions which require you to interpret that data, selecting from multiple choice options
• read a work scenario and say what you’d be most likely to do in that situation, selecting from multiple choice options
• provide information about your working style and preferences; using either a rating scale or selecting from different options which better describes you
• record a video response to an interview-style question; which will then be reviewed by a member of our team (there is no Artificial Intelligence scoring of your answers)
• complete a role-related challenge, such as producing some code to resolve a problem.

Personally, I completed the practice questions, appeared curious in the video interview by asking questions as it was based on a case study. For the multiple choice questions, I focused on challenging myself in the answers.
