Why we do not quote a number
Large UK graduate employers rarely publish stage-by-stage conversion data, and prep sites that quote precise percentages are almost always inventing them. We would rather tell you the mechanism than a made-up statistic.
For non-apprenticeship roles, Santander says applicants will normally need to wait at least six months before reapplying.
What the online assessment actually filters on
Santander says its three short games assess cognitive abilities and conscientiousness, and its video interview contains four to five questions. Prep sites have reported that Santander used Sova; Santander does not name its current provider. Weighting is set by Santander and is not published.
- Accuracy at a pace you can sustain on any reasoning element.
- Consistency between your judgement and Santander's published Simple, Personal, Fair behaviours.
- Consistency across the personality questionnaire.
How to improve your odds without a number to chase
