Hmm, today KPMG called. Then when i asked them what should I bring, they mentioned the usual stuffs... and calculator!

Seems like their assessment wouldn't be easy, do they ask additional maths type of questions, or just basic IQ questions? Because if a test which requires the use of calculator..I'm afraid it would be really tricky.

Anyone kind enough to share feedback on recent KPMG assessment test? Thanks in advanced!

Hello there!
May I know what position are you applying for?
I went for an interview with KPMG yesterday.
To tell you the truth, the Math test was harder than the English test.
You have to answer 28 questions in 20 minutes.
So roughly you have a less than a minute to attempt 1 question.
I'm usually really good at Math but I got only 50% on that test.
Actually the questions were not that hard, but you have to read, think and calculate fast.
Basically, they gave you charts, graphs, tables etc and you have to answer the questions based on the graphs.
They actually want to test whether you can work under pressure and whether you are able to think and act fast.
Anyway, good luck! Let us know how it goes. smile.gif

I forgot to add. I don't think you need to bring your calculator as they will provide it to you.
But I don't know. To be safe, just bring it.

Hi, I applied for a position of audit associate. I went there yesterday too! Maybe I saw you there?

I think for both test, i did not managed to answer 2 questions each. But the person who brought me there. told me that I did quite well. Hopefully same remarks for the interview as well smile.gif.

Goodluck to all of us who went for the interview yesterday? Now anxiously waiting. PM me ya, when u get any results, so if I didnt get any, I would know I've been rejected sad.gif.

Oh ya, btw, what position are you applying for?
*
Oh really? What time you were there? I applied for tax consulting assistant. Did the interviewer tell you how much did you get for both tests?
How was the interview? My interview was not so well. I've read in here that there will be no technical questions for fresh graduates. But guess what? The interviewer asked me technical questions from the beginning. But in the end, she asked me a few questions about myself. The interview went for over an hour sweat.gif . Anyway, good luck to you. If I'm not mistaken, you also went for an interview with Deloitte, right? Have they called you yet?
PM me too if you get any results. Now I'm waiting with agony. The interviewer said that if I got accepted, she will call me by next week.

I want to ask you guys something. I just joined KPMG and I would like to ask whether there will be any salary increment after 3 months which is after the confirmation period. Can anyone answer this?

Good luck to you.
If I'm not mistaken, the topic of the essay is "the hardest decision that you ever had to make, how did you make the decision, the outcomes and so on"

Hmm, I duno if this is a right place to ask.

If lets say,in KPMG, where Im required to be in office whole day, where to park? Please recommend most efficient place of parking, hehe.

And if let's say, I'll be there half day, coz have to go client place or something, where to park? I heard old wing 1 u is RM1 for first 6 hours, then RM 1 for every subsequent hour is it?

And has anyone parked in KPMG building? How much is the rate there?

If from 1u old wing, and I wanna walk to KPMG, is there anyway where I can walk inside 1u, then connect  to one world, then go out, near KPMG? (coz cooler, not so hot)

Thank you in advanced for help! Really need to find efficient way to save on parking and walking distance!

Hey Raymond!
If you want a cheaper parking, you can park your car at the new wing. People call it Dataran Car Park. Only RM 1 per entry. But you have to walk inside 1U for 10 mins. If you are too lazy to walk, you can take the shuttle van, provided by KPMG.
