EY assessment grids practice for your application
Practice EY assessment grids for your application with focused abstract reasoning training. Build confidence for LTP-style tests and move forward prepared.
Prepare for the EY application assessment
If you are applying to Ernst & Young and have been invited to an assessment through LTP, grids are one of the abstract reasoning formats you may encounter. This practice page helps you prepare in a focused way for the hiring process, with attention to the type of pattern recognition used in matrix questions.
The aim is practical preparation: learn how to read the pattern, compare the figures carefully, and work with enough structure to stay accurate under time pressure. That approach can make it easier to move through the assessment with confidence.

How to approach grid questions
A grid usually presents a 3-by-3 matrix of figures with one missing square. Your task is to identify the underlying rule and select the shape that completes the pattern. In EY-style assessment practice, this means looking beyond the individual figure and checking how the set changes across rows, columns, or both.
A steady method helps more than quick guesses. First note the visible features such as shape, position, rotation, count, or shading. Then compare the changes from one square to the next and test whether the same logic appears consistently in the full grid.
Because these questions are part of a broader aptitude test, it is useful to practice them in a timed setting as well. That builds familiarity with the question style and supports a calmer start on assessment day.
Checklist for effective practice
Use a simple checklist while you practice so you can review each matrix in the same way. This keeps your attention on the relevant details and reduces the chance of overlooking a pattern.
- Check the full row and column before focusing on one square.
- Look for repeated changes in shape, size, rotation, or direction.
- Compare how the figures evolve from left to right and top to bottom.
- Verify that your chosen answer fits the entire pattern, not only one part.
When you repeat this method across several questions, you start to recognize common structures more quickly. That is especially useful in an application process where you want to stay efficient and accurate at the same time.
Using practice to support your application
Start with untimed practice to understand the logic behind each matrix. Once the pattern types feel more familiar, move to timed sets so you can work under conditions closer to the actual assessment. This progression is often the most practical way to prepare for LTP-style testing.
If grids are part of a wider EY assessment package, combine this module with other aptitude areas such as number sequences, analogies, or numerical reasoning. A balanced approach can help you feel better prepared for the full invitation, even if the exact test mix is not yet known.
The goal is not only to answer more questions correctly, but also to build a more reliable process for checking patterns, ruling out distractors, and keeping your pace steady throughout the test.
