First, check your invitation
PwC’s UK early-careers process describes an on-demand video stage on SHL: applicants record responses about their experience, which an assessor reviews afterwards. It is a distinct task from the online cognitive and behavioural assessments, virtual assessment centre and later business interview.
The current public page does not establish an exact number of video questions, response time, retake allowance or permission to use notes for your invitation. Use the resources and instructions supplied for your application.

Source review: 18 October 2026. This page does not establish the format for every PwC programme, country or recruitment cycle.
Complete assessed work independently
PwC requires you to complete assessments independently. Its conduct rule bars unauthorised AI tools and AI-enabled services, or other third-party help, to produce, edit, rewrite or summarise assessment responses, or to coach a response. Any exception must be explicitly permitted by PwC. Read the full conduct rule linked above before starting.
This page is for general reflection before an assessment. Do not use it to produce or improve an assessed response, copy the fictional illustration, or present invented experience as your own. Ask PwC about adjustments and support before attempting an assessment if needed.
Optional 40-second walkthrough
A silent, shortened walkthrough of the fictional community book-swap illustration below. Original FBO teaching material, not a PwC question or an assessed response. The complete written prompt and illustration remain below.

One free exercise: explain a checked assumption
An original FBO preparation exercise. It is separate from the candidate-reported questions in the catalogue and is not a PwC assessment question.
Choose an everyday decision from completed study, volunteering or part-time work where you had to check incomplete information. Give a short spoken account that separates:
- the situation and what was uncertain;
- the check you personally made;
- the decision and who made it;
- what happened and what you learned.
Use an experience you can explain truthfully. There is no timing target or score attached to this exercise. PwC’s behaviours page separately encourages reflection on examples from study or work.
Read a fictional illustration, then build your own account
Created by FBO. The speaker, event and outcome are invented; do not use this account as your experience or as an assessment response.
At a community book swap I helped allocate volunteer shifts. Our spreadsheet counted every sign-up as available for the full afternoon. I spotted notes from two people who could only stay for the first hour. I checked those notes with them and then showed the organiser the periods that would be short of cover. I proposed moving two sorting tasks to the start of the event, when more people were available, rather than asking volunteers to stay beyond the time they had offered. The organiser agreed, and we had enough people at the welcome desk throughout the event. I learned to check what a total represents before using it to plan. Next time I would collect start and finish times at sign-up.
Notice the separation between the speaker’s check and proposal, the organiser’s decision, and a practical lesson. This illustrates communication; it does not establish how PwC would assess an answer.
Check clarity before adding more practice
- Can a listener identify the assumption without a long introduction?
- Have you separated your contribution from other people’s decisions?
- Can you explain the result without inventing a responsibility, figure or success?
- Does the lesson say what you would change next time?
- Are you describing your own completed experience independently?
An FBO self-check for general preparation, not a PwC scorecard, predicted pass mark or answer key.
Optional: compare the UK-labelled question collection
Check the scope before buying. A collection label does not establish the questions or role coverage in your current invitation.
Graduate Video Interview (Competency & Motivation)
Questions £12 · With answers £14
21 question entries · United Kingdom · Video interview. The collection includes motivation, experience and career-planning themes. The catalogue does not establish coverage for your particular programme or a current recruitment year.
Both full catalogue editions are paid. The free material on this page is the original teaching exercise, not the full question bank.
The scope check on 18 October 2026 found that 10 of these 21 question entries share stems with another differently labelled PwC interview collection. Compare coverage in the catalogue before buying more than one; do not assume the collections contain entirely different questions.
Our question banks are compiled from questions reported by candidates who took the actual recruitment assessments and interviews. This original teaching exercise and fictional illustration are separate. Model answers are FBO-prepared practice examples, not official answers or scoring rubrics. FBO is independent and is not affiliated with PwC.
The catalogue shows current checkout prices and any applicable offer. If you cannot confirm a match for your employer, country, role and task, do not buy this collection for that application.
