Use the following original exercises to practice turning information into a recommendation. They are not official Kantar assessment questions.
Choose a small dataset or a published chart. Identify the business question, describe the evidence and propose one action. Add a limitation such as sample size, missing groups or a competing explanation. Practice saying what the data supports and what it cannot establish.
Imagine a retailer wants to understand why customers abandon a purchase. Define the decision first, then choose interviews, observation or a survey and explain the tradeoff. Identify who might be missing from the sample. Finish with how the findings would change the retailer’s next step.
Record an answer about a time you changed your mind after seeing evidence. Keep the context short, explain what you did and end with the result. Listen for unclear pronouns, unexplained jargon and claims that sound larger than your actual contribution. Use platform practice to test audio and camera placement.
During a practice case, propose a decision criterion, invite input and keep track of time. When views differ, identify which assumption drives the disagreement. Contribute both ideas and organization; a clear summary can be as valuable as introducing a new argument.
For project roles, explain a deadline or dependency that became uncertain. Show how you reprioritized work, communicated the impact and checked the result. Include a concrete lesson you would apply to a future project.
No single worldwide sequence is established. Follow the instructions for your vacancy.
No. Independent practice scores do not establish Kantar’s selection criteria or the profile sought for a particular role.
Practice connecting a business question to a research method, a finding and a decision. Explain limitations as clearly as the recommendation.
Use the official practice and instructions. Focus on understanding the rule before acting; do not assume another employer’s configuration applies.
