JPMorganChase graduate assessment guide

What the firm actually says about interviews, recorded video steps and skills assessments, and which popular claims about aptitude tests lack an official source.

The short answer

JPMorganChase says the process differs for each position and usually involves several people over multiple rounds. Its FAQ lists standardised assessments such as recorded interviews and technical tests for certain roles, but it does not publish a numerical or verbal reasoning test for graduates.

Reading the firm's own pages

The firm describes hiring in four moves. You explore roles, you apply with a CV that shows achievements, you interview, and you receive a decision. The interview step carries the only detail that matters for planning: it differs by position, and you should expect to meet several people in more than one round.

That is a short official description. The rest of this page separates what the FAQ confirms from what circulates on forums and prep sites.

What is confirmed and what is not

Pass marks or percentile cut-offsNot published

Recorded interviews: what you are told

The FAQ says the tool presents questions and lets you record your answers within a stated time frame. You need a device with a camera and a microphone, and the firm recommends professional attire and a space without distractions. Because you are on camera, the setting is part of the impression you make.

Some guides add precise numbers for preparation and answer lengths. The firm's FAQ does not, and the figures differ between accounts, so use the instructions inside your own invitation.

Aptitude tests and game-style screens: treat claims with care

Prep websites often describe a game-based or aptitude screen at the front of JPMorganChase graduate hiring. A candidate review mentions a short numerical task involving percentage changes. None of that is confirmed on the official pages we read, and it likely depends on programme, country and year.

If your invitation does include a game-based or behavioural section, it is outside what ReasonEra covers. If it includes a numerical, verbal or logic section, that is where reasoning practice pays off.

Retakes, accommodations and fairness

Preparing the reasoning skills that may appear

A practical approach is to prepare for the most likely demand on you in analyst roles, which is working quickly and accurately with numbers and short texts. These practice routes map to common question types:

How to practise this with ReasonEra

Upload a screenshot of a numerical or logic question from your practice material and ask for Tutor Explanation to see each step, or Quick Verify when you only want to check your own answer. The tutor works in nine languages, which helps if you want to review the reasoning in your own language. Run it before the actual assessment as part of your study routine. New accounts get 3 free trials, and the 14-Day Pass costs 49 € for unlimited use during an intensive revision fortnight.

Day-of checklist

  1. Read the invitation twice for the deadline, device requirements and whether the stage is timed.
  2. Close other apps and tabs, and silence notifications.
  3. Check lighting, camera angle and sound.
  4. Keep rough paper, a pen and, only where the invitation allows it, a calculator.
  5. Afterwards, write down what felt hard while it is fresh, in case you reapply next cycle.

Assessment stages vary by role, country and intake, so double-check the specifics before you plan around them.

Use these tools to prepare, not to bypass the rules

This tool is meant for the weeks before an assessment, but a real assessment usually comes with its own conditions on outside help, so ask the recruiter if anything is unclear.
