Company Name: Accenture

Interview Date: 4th Sep 2014

I'll like to share my placement process experience for Accenture which was held at my college 4th of September.

The test agency for Accenture was AMCAT. It was an adaptive test in which you cannot move forward or backward. You need to answer the current question and then only you can move to the next question. No negative marking was there.

The Test had 3 Sections:

(i) Verbal (25 questions, 25 minutes):

Having questions on Synonyms, Antonyms, Sentence Correction, Complete the Sentence, Prepositions, Articles and 2 to 3 Comprehensions (RC). Synonyms, Antonyms questions were just luck based questions. RC's were inference based. Overall Verbal was a simple area and good for scoring.

(ii) Quant (25 questions, 35 minutes):

Permutations and Combinations (Very Imp-5 to 6 qns tough to simple), Number System (Simple), HCF / LCM (Moderate to Simple), Profit & Loss (1/2 qns, moderate), Percentage, Time and Work (tough qns), Average (Simple)

(iii)Logic (24 questions, 35 minutes):

Odd man out, Series, Analogy (All were simple), Decision Making (Simple but time consuming), Arrangement (Simple), Distributions, Syllogism (Simple), Venn Diagram (Simple)
