KPMG assessment examples
See KPMG assessment examples by component, including LTP and Harver (NOA) tests, so you know what to expect from the invitation email.
KPMG assessment examples
If you have applied to KPMG, the assessment invitation usually gives the best indication of what to prepare for. Depending on the process, KPMG may use LTP or Harver (NOA), and the assessment can include cognitive tests, questionnaires, and sometimes additional exercises.
These examples are meant to help you recognize the types of tasks that often appear. That includes pattern-based reasoning, numerical work, and measures of personality or behavior, so you can focus your preparation on the components most likely to matter.

Common assessment components
The exact mix depends on the invitation email and the role. In practice, the most common examples are figure sequences, matrices, number sequences, exclusion tasks, syllogisms, analogies, and arithmetic or numerical insight questions.
LTP assessments often combine aptitude tests with questionnaires and may also include an interview or simulation exercise. Harver (NOA) is usually centered on the online cognitive ability assessment, with the invitation and platform explaining which parts you need to complete.
- Figure sequences and matrices for abstract reasoning
- Number sequences and exclusion for pattern recognition
- Syllogisms and analogies for verbal reasoning
- Arithmetic skills, tables, and graphs for numerical insight
How to use the examples in your preparation
Use the examples to narrow your practice instead of trying to cover everything. If your email mentions LTP, focus on a broad assessment format with aptitude tests and possible additional exercises. If it mentions Harver (NOA), concentrate on the online cognitive components named in the invitation.
This approach helps you become familiar with the style of the questions, the pace, and the mix of reasoning skills. It is especially useful for roles across KPMG, from analyst and associate to more senior positions, where the assessment content can still vary by vacancy.
A practical way to prepare
Start with the test types named in your email, then review the underlying skill areas: abstract reasoning, verbal reasoning, and numerical reasoning. After that, practice under time pressure so the format feels familiar before the actual assessment.
If your invitation mentions additional questionnaires or behavior measures, treat those as part of the same process rather than a separate task. The aim is to respond carefully and consistently, while keeping your attention on the components that are most relevant to your assessment.
