KPMG Figure Sets Assessment Tips
Prepare for KPMG figure sets with practical tips on patterns, time management, and focused practice for LTP and Harver assessments.
Practical preparation for KPMG figure sets
KPMG assessments may be sent through LTP or Harver (NOA), and the invitation email usually explains which components are included. For figure sets, the key is to build a steady routine for spotting visual rules quickly and accurately.
This module focuses on abstract reasoning. In practice, that means looking for changes in shape, direction, count, size, rotation, fill, and position, then testing which rule best fits the sequence.
A focused approach works better than broad preparation. Practice the figure-sequence style used in these assessments alongside the other common cognitive modules so you become familiar with the pace and wording.

How to use your practice time well
Start with untimed practice to understand how the sequence changes from one figure to the next. Once the pattern becomes clearer, move to timed sets so you can work more efficiently under assessment pressure.
- Check one feature at a time, such as rotation or number of elements.
- Compare the first and last items only after you have tracked the full pattern.
- Skip a difficult item briefly and return if the sequence is not clear.
- Use mistakes to identify which visual rules you overlook most often.
Keep your preparation aligned with the invitation email. KPMG assessments can vary by role and provider, so the most useful practice is the set of modules that matches the test you were actually asked to take.
Checklist for figure-sequence practice
A short checklist helps you stay consistent. Repeating the same review steps makes it easier to notice recurring patterns and reduces avoidable errors.
- Identify the changing feature before choosing an answer.
- Look for a single rule or a combination of simple rules.
- Keep track of whether changes move clockwise, expand, shrink, or alternate.
- Work through enough items to get comfortable with the question style.
Because the module is designed around logical visual reasoning, calm and methodical analysis is usually more useful than trying to guess quickly. If a pattern feels uncertain, verify the rule against every figure in the sequence before you decide.
A simple way to prepare for the assessment
Step-by-step practice approach
- Review a few examples without time pressure.
- Name the visible changes in each figure.
- Test which rule repeats across the sequence.
- Practise mixed sets to build speed and accuracy.
- Return to weaker question types before the assessment.
This method is especially useful when figure sets are part of a wider cognitive test package. It supports steady progress without requiring you to prepare every possible assessment topic in depth.
What this KPMG preparation is built around
The broader KPMG bundle is designed for assessments delivered through LTP or Harver (NOA). Alongside figure sets, you may also encounter number sequences, syllogisms, analogies, arithmetic skills, or numerical reasoning, depending on the invitation email.
The goal is to help you recognise the recurring test style used by these providers and prepare in a targeted way. That makes it easier to focus on the most relevant modules for your role and level.
Keep checking the email from the assessment provider, since it is the best source for the exact setup of your test. That is the clearest way to decide how much attention to give figure sets within your overall preparation.
