Prepare for the Citi Online Test

Citi is one of the biggest banks in the USA and successful international bank. Citi employers are known for their diversity, promotion options, and their technological progress. In order to become Citi next employee, you'll have to pass tests, interviews and possibly assessment centers. 

Depending on the position you have applied for you may be required to take a pre-hire mathematical reasoning test. These tests are used by Citibank to gain an understanding of your numerical abilities. The areas tested can range from the simplest of mathematics to more in-depth calculations and critical reasoning depending on your job level.

The scenarios presented on Situational Judgment Tests (SJTs) always ask for a resolution of a given conflict which, although being hypothetical, might very much rely on, or represent, realistic situations that occur in a workplace. You will then be asked to choose a preferred method of action out of a number of possible options. You are encouraged to choose your responses spontaneously, based on intuition; however, analyzing the scenarios and choosing responses that highlight your skills will allow you to better present yourself on the test.

Candidates for Citi were asked behavioral questions and professional ones.

Previous candidates were asked the questions below:

• Can you explain why equity capital markets are rising? 
• Please describe a situation in which you encountered nervous client and how you dealt with him.
• Please describe me an ethical dilemma and how you act upon.
• Please describe a problem you encounter in a team and how you overcame it.

Although important, a successful Citibank interview takes more than dressing smartly. Before arriving make sure to extensively research the company and the position you wish to fill. Make a list of points that highlight of your past achievements and write open ended questions to learn as much as you can about the company, division and how management operates. Remember that the interview is two ways, while they interview you, you should interview them as well. When faced with questions regarding your weaknesses, be open and honest, but also demonstrate how you resolve or work around them efficiently as possible.

Most companies administer some sort of pre-employment aptitude tests, and Citibank is no exception. These tests were designed in order to give your interviewers insight into a number of workplace competencies. These tests are often scored by taking your raw score and comparing it to that of other the candidates, then comparing all scores to the benchmark score. If your profile happens to be a match with the company’s standards, you may end up being offered the job.

The Citibank’s SJT test may come in several formats and it is important for you to be aware of the various possibilities. Some tests are linear based, while others are interactive in nature. So, what’s the difference? The linear format presents a number of questions to each applicant and in the same order, while interactive uses branching, meaning each answer will dictate the next series of questions. Questions and answers will vary from a specific work scenario with one unique solution to possibly multiple issues requiring multiple solutions. While there is no per say right or wrong answer. While there is no right or wrong answer, per say, scores are based on the best and worst alternatives as the tester sees it.
