What BP publishes about online assessments, recorded interviews and the later stages of graduate and professional hiring.
By the Game Assessment Prep research teamUpdated September 14, 2026How we research
BP describes online exercises that may involve numerical, logical or situational reasoning. The useful preparation target is the named skill in your invitation. The numerical practice below is an optional skill comparison, not a claim that BP uses SHL.
Category practice
BP lists numerical exercises among possible online assessments. If your invitation confirms this format, practice reading tables, percentages and ratios. The linked SHL-style material is category practice only; BP’s test provider and exact interface remain unconfirmed.

Explore Numerical reasoning exercisesBegin by identifying the BP business, location and job family on your vacancy. A supply, trading and shipping application needs a different preparation emphasis from engineering or a specialist professional position. The graduate overview is a useful map, but the specific assessment invitation tells you which parts apply.
This guide separates a confirmed video platform from test content. A HireVue invitation for recorded answers does not establish that you will receive HireVue games. Prepare for the format BP actually names, then build evidence of how you solve problems and work with others.
BP’s graduate page covers business, digital, engineering, science and supply, trading and shipping, with country-specific opportunities. Its five-stage overview includes online screening and assessments, recorded responses, technical interviewing and an assessment center.

The internship site also organizes opportunities by discipline and country and uses a candidate matching tool. Select the appropriate education and location details; the existence of an internship in one market does not establish availability elsewhere.

The general process starts with application review and an initial conversation, followed by interviews and any relevant assessment. BP identifies technical tasks, case studies and working-style questionnaires as possible variations.

The early-careers FAQ names HireVue for on-demand interviews. It separately directs candidates to their assessment dashboard for practice tests; it does not identify a single provider for all online tests.

BP’s interview guide describes structured competency questions and recommends STAR. Interviewers want the reasoning behind your actions as well as the outcome, so make your own contribution clear.

BP’s published beliefs emphasize safety, accountability, improvement and care for colleagues and customers. These give useful context when choosing examples of judgment, teamwork and learning.

The current sources reviewed do not establish a common game lineup, numerical pass mark or universal test duration. This is a limit of the published evidence, not proof that a particular vacancy has no test.

Separate the date an opportunity opens from its closing date and the deadline on an assessment invitation. They are different milestones.
| Cycle | Application dates | Likely assessment window | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Graduate and internship page announcement | Applications advertised to open October 14, 2026 | Issued separately to invited candidates | Official source At review, BP’s graduate and internship pages advertised this opening date. Confirm the selected country and vacancy before relying on it; it is not a universal assessment date or a guarantee that every discipline will open. |
| Early-careers application rules | Vacancy deadline; early closure is possible | Use the invitation expiry | Official source BP says opportunities may fill before their stated closing date. Its FAQ permits one early-careers application globally per academic year and says unsuccessful applicants must wait until the next academic year to reapply. Source: BP early-careers FAQ |
Use the following as a preparation plan, not a prediction of interview questions. Focus first on the stage you have been invited to complete.
Take the vacancy’s main requirements and attach one real example to each. For engineering, explain a technical constraint and how you checked your solution. For trading or commercial roles, explain a decision under uncertainty. For digital work, show how you measured whether an implementation worked.
For numerical exercises, practice extracting the correct units and denominators before calculating. For situational questions, identify the objective, affected people and available information before comparing responses. Use short practice sessions and review errors instead of repeating an unknown test format.
Choose an example where you noticed a risk, owned an error or raised a concern constructively. Explain the practical action and its effect. A modest example with clear judgment is stronger than a large project described only in generalities.
Record a practice answer about a project and listen for missing context, vague references to “we” and an unclear result. For technical preparation, work through a representative problem and state assumptions, tradeoffs and checks. These are practice activities, not claimed BP questions.
BP confirms HireVue for some early-careers recorded interviews. The current official material reviewed does not confirm a HireVue game lineup. Check the separate assessment instructions before choosing game practice.
No single format applies to all roles. It appears in the published graduate journey, while the general application guidance describes role-dependent variations. Your recruiter’s instructions establish your stages.
The early-careers FAQ allows one opportunity globally per academic year, with only the first application processed. Compare the eligibility requirements and location carefully before submitting.
Prepare to explain the fundamentals relevant to the vacancy and a project you know well. Show your assumptions, reasoning and verification. The graduate overview confirms the stage but does not publish a universal question bank.
