KPMG Assessment Analogies Explained
Learn what KPMG assessment analogies involve, how they fit LTP or Harver (NOA), and what to expect when preparing for verbal reasoning.
What this module covers
The KPMG analogies module is part of the broader assessment preparation for invitations sent through LTP or Harver (NOA). It focuses on verbal reasoning and asks you to identify the relationship between words or concepts.
In practice, you compare pairs of words and look for the same kind of connection in the answer options. The relationship may be based on meaning, function, category, or another clear link.
This guide is meant to set expectations. It explains the purpose of the module, the type of thinking it measures, and how it fits into the wider KPMG assessment package.

How it fits the KPMG assessment
KPMG assessments can differ depending on the invitation email and the provider used. Some candidates receive an assessment through LTP, while others are invited via Harver (NOA). The exact mix of tests and questionnaires may vary.
The analogies module is one of the recurring verbal reasoning components in these assessments. It often appears alongside other cognitive tests such as figure sequences, number sequences, syllogisms, and matrices.
Because the content is tailored to the role, it is important to check the invitation carefully. That email usually indicates which parts are relevant for your preparation.
What to expect in the exercise
Each item presents a relationship between two words or concepts. Your task is to identify that relationship and choose the option that follows the same pattern.
The module is designed to test how quickly and accurately you can spot verbal connections under time pressure. It does not rely on specialist knowledge, but on careful comparison and logical thinking.
A useful approach is to read the pair slowly, define the connection in simple terms, and then check whether the answer choice follows the same structure.
Common relationships can involve category, part and whole, function, or related meaning. Staying consistent in your reasoning matters more than moving quickly at the start.
Practical preparation points
- Practice identifying relationships between words without relying on assumptions.
- Work through examples with a clear, step-by-step comparison.
- Read the invitation email carefully so you focus on the most relevant modules.
