Citi assessment application guide
Prepare for the Citi Plum assessment with focused practice on figure series and matrices, plus practical steps to follow your email invitation.
Prepare with a clear application focus
If you are applying to Citi, it helps to approach the assessment as part of the hiring process and prepare with a simple plan. This bundle is aimed at candidates who want to work through the online Plum assessment in a structured way, with attention to the abstract reasoning tasks most often used.
The main practice areas are figure series and matrices. By training these separately, you can build familiarity with the layout of the questions and develop a steadier approach before the real assessment arrives.

What to focus on during practice
Figure series practice helps you follow how visual elements change from one step to the next. Look for rules in shape, direction, number of elements, size, rotation, fill, and position, then use that pattern to choose the next figure more confidently.
Matrices require a different way of reading the task. In a 3 by 3 grid, you need to compare rows and columns, identify relationships, and work out which figure is missing. Practicing this format in advance can make the test feel more familiar when you begin the application assessment.
The goal is not to rush, but to build a calm and systematic habit. When you know what each section asks of you, you can spend less time adjusting to the format and more time solving the questions themselves.
A practical checklist before test day
Keep an eye on your inbox, because Citi sends the assessment invitation by email. That message contains the practical instructions you need, so reading it carefully is an important first step in the application process.
- Review the email invitation as soon as it arrives.
- Check the instructions for timing and setup.
- Practice the two main question types separately.
- Work through a few tasks at a steady pace before the assessment.
- Leave enough time so you do not have to prepare at the last minute.
A focused checklist like this can help you stay organized and move into the assessment with more confidence. It also makes it easier to use your preparation time on the question types that matter most for Citi.
