Citi Plum Assessment Practice Preparation
By the TestPrep editorial team · Updated
Prepare with the right focus
This preparation is built for candidates who expect a Citi assessment through Plum and want to use their time efficiently. The main focus is abstract reasoning, especially matrices and figure series, so you can get familiar with the question formats before the real assessment.
A good first step is to understand what these sections ask of you. You are not memorizing content, but training yourself to notice patterns, compare details, and move through questions in a steady order.
The invitation for the assessment is sent by email and includes the practical details you need. That makes it sensible to monitor your inbox carefully and begin preparing early, so there is enough time to work through the material without pressure.

This gives you an immediate feel for the question style and the value of the practice environment.
Work through the assessment formats in a steady way
The practice is centered on the two most common abstract reasoning components in this bundle: matrices and figure series. Working on them separately helps you learn what to look for in each format and how to avoid wasting time on the wrong details.
In matrices, the task is to identify the missing figure in a 3-by-3 grid by following the visual pattern. In figure series, you track how shapes change across a sequence and determine the logical next step.
This structure supports a calm pace. Instead of trying to solve everything at once, you can build a clear routine: inspect the visual rule, compare the options, and move on once you have made your best decision.
Use your preparation time efficiently
If you have limited time, start with the section you find less intuitive and then return to the other format. That way, your first study session goes toward the part that will likely benefit most from repetition.
Keep your attention on the features that often change in these tasks, such as shape, direction, number of elements, size, rotation, fill, and position. Recognizing these patterns more quickly is usually more useful than trying to solve questions by guesswork.
When you practice, aim for consistency rather than speed alone. A controlled approach helps you stay composed during the real assessment and makes it easier to read the visual information accurately under time limits.
Why this bundle fits Citi candidates
This bundle is intended for people preparing for a Citi assessment who want focused practice on abstract reasoning. It is especially relevant if you want to understand how visual patterns change and how to work through questions in a structured way.
The material is aligned with the digital assessment format used via Plum, so the practice stays close to the type of reasoning you are likely to meet. That makes it easier to approach the assessment with a clearer sense of pace and structure.
The aim is to help you prepare in a measured way: notice the rules, manage your time, and build confidence with the formats that matter most for this assessment.
