Amazon Apprenticeship Online Tests: What to Expect and How to Prepare

Salary: £22,000–£28,000Length: 15 months–3 yearsAcceptance: 2–4%

The Amazon online tests are: Workstyle assessment and online aptitude tests. This stage filters out a significant proportion of applicants: preparation makes a real difference.

What the Tests Involve

Workstyle assessment and online aptitude tests

How to Prepare

  • 1.Practice with real test providers. SHL, Korn Ferry, Cubiks, and Talent Q all publish free sample tests. The interface and question format varies by provider: know what to expect.
  • 2.Do a full timed practice run. Sitting the test for the first time under actual time pressure is the wrong time to discover you're slower than you thought.
  • 3.Optimise your setup. Fast internet, quiet room, laptop (not phone), and attempt it when you're alert. Technical issues mid-test are unlikely to result in a resit.
  • 4.For SJTs: think like a professional. Situational judgement tests have no trick answers, but they reward considered, measured responses over impulsive ones. Read each scenario fully before selecting.

Common Mistakes

✕Attempting without any preparation: practice tests exist for a reason
✕Taking the test on a mobile or slow connection
✕Rushing through to finish quickly: accuracy matters more than speed in most sections
✕For SJTs: choosing the answer you personally prefer rather than the most professionally appropriate one
