UBS ASSESSMENT 
TEST QUESTIONS & ANSWERS!

ANSWER = TRUE

EXPLANATION: In this test, you will need to read the question and then navigate to the correct tab containing the information. In this case, the question states that the profits made in the last quarter were £42,100. Your task is to find the correct tab containing the data that would validate the claim as true, false or impossible to say. This question states: “In the last quarter of 2022, the total profits were £42,100.” To break this down into steps, we need to do the following:

STEP 1: Find the correct tab which contains the data. In this case, the total profits tab contains the correct data set.

STEP 2: Analyse the data contained in the tab to locate the correct data to validate.

STEP 3: Make the required calculation. In this case, the last quarter of 2022 is October, November and December. Add the three figures; 12.2 + 13.4 + 16.5 = 42.1. 42.1 x 1,000 = £42,100. So we can validate this statement as true.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE TEST

At first, the test will seem daunting as you are unfamiliar with the data in the tabs. However, as you progress through the questions, you will become familiar with the type of data included in each tab. This will help you to quickly locate the tab which contains the required information. In your actual UBS Assessment, you must be on the correct tab when you submit your answer. If you submit an answer on a tab that does not include the required data, your answer will be marked as incorrect, regardless of whether your answer choice is correct.

TIMING OF THE TEST

This test requires both speed and accuracy, as you must answer 37 questions in 12 minutes, which is only twenty seconds per question. Because of the difficulty alone, we recommend you prepare and practice for this test as much as possible prior to your actual assessment.

SAMPLE ANSWER = 5,2,7

To work this out, we must follow the rules of BIDMAS, so we need to find two figures between 1 and 9 which, when multiplied, the answer is less than 19. In this case, 2 x 7 = 14. We then add the remainder of 5 to solve the problem. Therefore the full answer is 5 + 2 x 7 = 19. Some other possible combinations are 1,6,3 & and 3,8,2. Please note it is important to remember that each number can only be used once to solve the problem. For example, you could not use 3 + 4 x 4 = 19 as 4 has been used twice to solve the problem.

Answer: C False

EXPLANATION: You can see from the Pet Insurance tab which shows that recovery therapies are only included with Diamond pet insurance policies. In this test, you must read the question and then navigate to the correct tab containing the information. In this instance, the question states that gold and platinum are suitable pet insurance policies if you want recovery therapies included. Your task is to find the correct tab containing the data to validate the claim as true, false or impossible to say. This question states: “If I wanted recovery therapies included in my pet insurance, I would choose gold or platinum.” To break this down into steps, we need to do the following:

STEP 1: Find the correct tab which contains the data. In this case, the pet insurance tab contains the correct data set.

STEP 2: Analyse the data contained in the tab to locate the correct data to validate.

STEP 3: Study the information provided to ascertain if the statement is true, false or impossible to say.
