Citi assessment preparation
Prepare calmly for the Citi online assessment with focused practice on figure series and matrices, plus practical guidance for the Plum invitation.
Start with the essentials
This Citi preparation is designed for candidates who want to focus on what matters first: the abstract reasoning parts of the online assessment. The practice centers on figure series and matrices, so you can build familiarity with the question types before the real test.
The assessment is administered via Plum, and the invitation email contains the practical details you need to complete it properly. Because of that, it helps to keep an eye on your inbox and begin preparing in good time.
Try a sample question right away
This gives you an immediate feel for the question style and the value of the practice environment.
Build a steady approach
A calm preparation works best when you train the two core sections separately. Figure series helps you practice spotting how shapes change across a sequence, while matrices trains you to identify patterns within a 3 by 3 grid.
Working this way gives you a clearer sense of what to look for in each question. Instead of trying to absorb everything at once, you can focus on the structure behind the items and develop a more reliable rhythm.
What to keep in mind before the assessment
The invitation email is the main source of practical information, so it is worth checking carefully when it arrives. It should tell you how to access the assessment and what steps to follow.
If you prepare early, you give yourself more time to become comfortable with the format. That usually makes it easier to stay composed when you begin the real assessment.
