KPMG assessment preparation guide
By the TestPrep editorial team · Updated
Start with the assessment components KPMG uses most
If you have been invited to a KPMG assessment, the first step is to check which provider is mentioned in your email. KPMG uses different assessment formats, including LTP and Harver (NOA), and the exact mix of tests can vary by invitation.
This preparation focuses on the parts that commonly recur: cognitive ability tests and, in some cases, personality or behavioral measures. That makes it easier to begin with the most relevant material instead of preparing broadly for everything at once.
A calm approach usually works best here. Read the invitation carefully, note the listed components, and build your practice around the skills most likely to appear in your assessment.

What to practice first
The core of this bundle is practice for abstract, verbal, and numerical reasoning. These are the areas that show up often in KPMG assessments through LTP or Harver, and they give you a practical base for the rest of your preparation.
- Figure sequences, matrices, and exclusion
- Number sequences, syllogisms, and analogies
- Arithmetic skills, graphs, tables, and numerical insight
Working through these modules helps you get used to the style of the questions as well as the pace. That matters because the goal is not only accuracy, but also staying steady when the assessment feels time-pressured.
A simple preparation routine
A focused routine is usually more effective than long sessions without structure. Start with the test types named in your invitation, then move to the modules that match the same reasoning skills.
- Check the invitation email for the provider and listed components.
- Practice the most common cognitive modules first.
- Review any extra questionnaires or behavioral measures if they are mentioned.
- Repeat the question types that feel less familiar until the pattern becomes clear.
This keeps your preparation efficient and helps you build confidence step by step. It also reduces the risk of spending time on parts that are less relevant to your specific assessment.
Why this bundle fits different KPMG roles
The assessment content can differ by job level and position, from analyst or associate to more senior roles such as manager, director, and partner. That is why the invitation email remains the most important source for what you should prioritize.
This bundle is designed to cover the common structure behind these assessments without making preparation unnecessarily broad. It is suitable when you want to work methodically toward familiarity with the test format and the way questions are presented.
The focus is on practical readiness: understanding the question style, recognizing patterns faster, and handling the assessment with more control. That combination is often enough to make preparation feel manageable.
