EY Test Results and Next Rounds

Psychometric Test:

Another segment of EY Placement Papers is EY psychometric test in which questions

based on different business scenario are asked in order to check the decision making,
stress management, task management and other skills of the applicant.
Group Discussion:

After clearing the online written test of EY placement paper you will be eligible for the
next round which is a group discussion. The EY group discussion is conducted in a batch
of 10-12 people. EY GD topics are very easy and from areas which everyone is aware of.
The sole goal of GD is to check that you speak with confidence as that is an expertise
which will be utilized in your everyday movement as an analyst in your interaction with
clients.

DO these in a Group Discussion!

 Listen & understand don’t hear & judge.

Understand the topic of the GD before forming opinions. Else there exists a high risk
that you might take a GD away from its intended topic.

 Pen down your thoughts

As soon as you know the topic, your brain will present you with scores of ideas. Some of
these ideas may be in favor of the topic and others against. Make sure you pen down
every single thought that flits across your mind so that you don’t miss out on conveying
important points.

 Be the initiator if you know the topic well

A person who initiates the GD plays a crucial role as he sets the foundation on which the
GD proceeds. Hence, initiate only if you are confident about your views on the topic.
Also, make sure that you keep it short without deviating from the main topic.

 Support your point with some facts and figures

Always try to provide some examples and illustrations along with the ideas you convey
during the GD. It not only conveys the message that you are knowledgeable about the
topic but also builds credibility towards your ideas.

 Speak politely and pleasantly. Respect contribution from other members.

The more polite and pleasant you are in your way of speaking, the easier it is to get the
attention of everyone. Respect others when they speak.
  Look at the evaluators or a particular group member.

Eye contact and body language is very important in a GD. Your best ideas might go
waste if not conveyed properly due to poor body language or no eye contact. Don’t
pose negative body gestures like touching the nose, leaning back on the chair, knocking
the table with a pen etc.

 Summarize the discussion if the group has not reached a conclusion.

Summarizing a GD is as important as initiating it. A GD that ends with no conclusion is

like a meal which ends with no dessert. Make sure you summarize the points at the end
of GD.

Don’t do these in a Group Discussion!

 Be Arnab Goswamy!

If you know what I mean! Try to respect freedom of speech of others. Speak and let
speak.

 Panic if you are not familiar with the topic of your GD

If you don’t know the topics listen to others and then speak. Often it so happens that an
individual won’t have any idea about the topic and so becomes nervous. It’s nothing to
worry about as this happens with nearly 30-40% of people who are part of a GD. Just
listen to others, interpret what the topic is all about and then speak.

 Contradict Rudely

Don’t be rude when you are contradicting someone’s views. Be as polite as possible
when you convey your contradiction.

 Over speak, intervene and snatch other’s chance to speak.

Never interrupt others when they speak. This distracts the entire GD and might also
fetch you negative points.

 Argue and shout during the GD.

You are in no courtroom. Keep calm and let the GD run.

 Don’t try to dominate the discussion and also try not to put others in an
embarrassing situation by asking them to speak if they don’t want.

Get ready to rock your next GD!
