HSBC Tests

HSBC is a multinational banking and financial services company, with headquarters in London and offices in more than 80 countries. Its total assets make it the largest bank in Europe. As well as individual investors and savers, its customers include some of the world’s most high-profile organisations.

The tests were well suited to the job that I’ve applied for. They are easy to do and loads of them.

HSBC Job Simulation

If you pass the online immersive assessment stage, you will then move on to the job simulation.

This is an automated video assessment provided by Hirevue. It is based on the specific business area you have applied to; you will be presented with fictitious information related to the kind of work you would be doing in the role.

Questions might involve analysing numerical data and providing a summary for a colleague, ranking responses to hypothetical work situations, or providing a video response detailing how you would approach a particular task.

You will also need to answer some multiple-choice numerical reasoning questions. There is a practice video response question before you start the assessed questions.

The whole test will take you around 50 minutes. You can sit both the online immersive assessment and the job simulation at any time within a set number of days, which will be specified in the email invitation.

HSBC Super Day

Depending on the programme you have applied for, you could be invited to a half-day assessment centre (called a Super Day).

Here you will be assessed by senior members of the relevant business area via a series of individual and group exercises, along with strengths-based interviews.

The exercises include a case study, where you will be provided with a large pack of information about a bank. You must use the data and other information included in these documents to answer questions and make recommendations.

You will also be asked to prepare a five-minute presentation setting out your recommendations.

The group exercise assesses how you respond to a workplace scenario. You will be split into groups of four to six people and observed by two HSBC assessors while you discuss the task.

You should make sure you demonstrate your strengths and make a positive contribution while taking care not to dominate the conversation.

You will also be interviewed during the Super Day. Questions are likely to focus on your motivation for applying to HSBC and the specific role, and how your own strengths and qualities are aligned with HSBC’s core values.

Before the Super Day you should do some thorough research into HSBC and the business area you are applying to. Think carefully about why you want the job and prepare some examples demonstrating relevant achievements.

Reviews of our HSBC tests

What our customers say about our HSBC tests

    It is a really great test to keep the mind fresh.

    I liked how much I had to think about each and every question. But the time was short to solve the problems

    Good

    The test consisted of reasoning questions and mental calculation, but there is a lack of context in the figures.

    Harder than expected

    I liked that it pushed myself, but not so hard that I didn't know anything. I knew a way to answer most questions, but the speed was the hardest aspect.

    Difficult, need to practice more

    It had diverse types of questions. If I could practice more, I would have been able to perform better.

    Decent

    Some questions were hard to understand what exactly we were supposed to do and look at. Graphs were difficult to interpret without proper heading and with minimal info.

    Understanding of statistics and quick reading

    I liked the way the questions are not incredibly easy to digest, making it necessary to interpret the problem quickly and efficiently.

    Very Tricky Questions

    What I would say about this sample test is that you will find it very effective at the time you take it. In my view, if you score well in this it means you are able to take your official test.

    My very first test with timing

    Personally it takes time for me to draft or outline on the draft

  • India

    March 18, 2021

    Percentage topic is important

    I liked it, since percentages are my favourite topic

  • United States of America

    March 03, 2021

    I feel like I wasn't familiar with the earnings or the way the data was displayed

    I disliked the amount of different ways the data was presented.
