Free practice notes, ready to share.
Three original FBO teaching guides for preparation before a matching UK assessment. Each includes an authored exercise and fictional illustration. No registration or purchase is required to read these guides. FBO is an independent commercial preparation publisher.
Free printable practice worksheet
A free three-page PDF with original FBO exercises, space for your own notes and self-checks. These are teaching exercises, not employer questions. Use the worksheet before assessments, with your own experiences, and complete assessed work independently.
Choose the task first
Check the employer, UK recruitment market, programme, role and actual task in the invitation. A society’s subject or location does not establish that every member should use every guide. For members studying outside the UK, these are UK-specific resources; they are not presented as preparation for Ireland or another recruitment market.
Review a guide before sharing it. Each note below includes its scope, free and paid boundary, and direct guide link. You can select the text manually or use its copy button. Nothing is posted or sent for you.
KPMG UK Audit: recorded-answer practice
For KPMG UK Audit applicants whose invitation includes a video interview. Check the programme, role, market and recorded task first.

What is free, and what is optional?
The three guides and their original exercises and fictional illustrations are free to read. The linked KPMG and EY Questions catalogue editions are also free. Their editions with FBO-prepared model answers are paid. Both full PwC catalogue editions are paid; the free PwC material is the original guide exercise. Check the catalogue and the guide’s coverage notes before choosing.
About the catalogue and independent preparation
Our question banks are compiled from questions reported by candidates who took the actual recruitment assessments and interviews.
The original guide exercises and fictional illustrations are separate from those candidate-reported questions. FBO-prepared model answers are practice examples, not official answers or scoring rubrics. FBO is independent and is not affiliated with KPMG, EY or PwC. These guides do not predict the questions in a current assessment or establish coverage for every programme, role or year.
Prepare beforehand, use only experiences you can explain truthfully, and complete assessed work independently. Follow the current instructions and resource rules linked in each guide. For PwC, read its current conduct rules through the guide; do not use this material to produce or improve an assessed response. Do not copy a fictional illustration as your own experience.
