Reviews of our HSBC tests

What our customers say about our HSBC tests

  • India

    September 08, 2022

    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

  • France

    February 24, 2022

    Good

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

  • United States of America

    December 30, 2021

    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.

  • United Kingdom

    November 23, 2021

    Difficult, need to practice more

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

  • United States of America

    November 18, 2021

    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.

  • United States of America

    October 27, 2021

    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.

  • India

    May 30, 2021

    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.

  • Viet Nam

    May 05, 2021

    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.
