ABN AMRO assessment experiences with Harver (NOA) practice
By the TestPrep editorial team · Updated
What candidates usually notice
ABN AMRO applicants are often invited to an online assessment after applying, and the email invitation is an important source of detail. In practice, people usually notice that the process is split into clear components, with cognitive ability tasks forming the main part and additional behavioral or personality elements sometimes included.
For many candidates, the most useful part of preparing is understanding the format early. Harver (NOA) assessments typically emphasize number sequences, analogies, and exclusion tasks, while the broader ABN AMRO process may also include figure sequences and numerical reasoning depending on the invitation.

How the assessment fit is usually judged
The assessment experience is often less about one difficult question type and more about working accurately and steadily across several sections. Employers use these tasks to compare candidates on reasoning, pattern recognition, and handling time pressure.
Because ABN AMRO may use either Cubiks (Talogy) or Harver (NOA), the exact mix can vary. That is why candidates often check the invitation email first and then focus their practice on the modules that match the platform named there.
A decision-making approach helps here: prepare for the most common question types, but keep your attention on the specific instructions you receive. That reduces wasted practice and makes your preparation more relevant to the actual assessment.
Practice patterns that are commonly helpful
Candidates preparing for Harver (NOA) usually benefit from working through analogies, exclusion, and number sequences in advance. These modules are useful because they train you to spot relationships quickly and to stay structured when the test moves at pace.
For ABN AMRO preparation more broadly, numerical understanding and numerical reasoning can also matter, especially when tables, graphs, or calculations are involved. Repeated practice helps you become familiar with the layout and the kind of thinking each question requires.
It is also common to see overlap with Cubiks Logiks style assessments. That makes a broad cognitive practice package practical for candidates who want coverage across the main formats rather than preparing for only one narrow test version.
A practical way to prepare before the invite
The safest starting point is to read the invitation carefully and note which platform and components are mentioned. If the email is not fully specific, it is sensible to prepare across the main cognitive modules used by ABN AMRO and then refine once more information arrives.
Many candidates find it useful to begin with untimed practice to understand the logic behind each question type, then move to timed sets. That sequence supports both accuracy and pace, which are the two qualities most likely to matter in the real assessment.
Checking email regularly is part of the process itself, since the assessment details are usually shared there. Staying alert to the instructions helps you match your practice to the right format and avoid surprises on test day.
