DRY RUN

All guides

Cappfinity

Tests set in the employer's own scenarios: numerical, verbal, critical thinking and situational questions.

Format

  • Cappfinity sets its tests in the employer's context instead of abstract puzzles. It lists critical thinking, numerical and verbal reasoning, logic and error checking.
  • Some employers add a strengths-based situational test and a video interview. Candidate guides report this format at HSBC.

Rules to know

  • Cappfinity offers employers candidate zones with preparation material. Look for a practice link in your invitation email.

Where practice helps

Helps

The numerical and verbal parts are ability tests, so general reasoning practice carries over.

Does not help

Situational and strengths questions ask what you would do or enjoy. There is no fixed answer key to learn.

A 20-minute plan for the day before

  1. 10 minAny practice in the employer's candidate zone. If there is none, an SHL numerical practice test instead.
  2. 5 minRead the firm's page for your programme, since the questions use the firm's setting.
  3. 5 minLaptop on charge, quiet room, a free block of time.
