LSEG publishes separate engineering and business pathways. Engineering adds a technical assessment before the immersive assessment; both continue to video interview and assessment center.

LSEG calls this an immersive online assessment. That label does not establish a set of HireVue or pymetrics games. The official programme guides link to Cappfinity preparation, while the exact exercises remain invitation-specific.
Category practice
Optional independent practice can help you explain decisions and work with unfamiliar assessment formats. It does not reproduce LSEG’s immersive assessment or establish its scoring.

Explore Cappfinity-style category practiceIdentify the programme before choosing preparation. Treat a technical exercise, a workplace scenario and a recorded explanation as distinct tasks: each gives you a different opportunity to show your thinking.
The public preparation link establishes a Cappfinity hub connection. It does not establish that every LSEG coding test, video interview or experienced-hire assessment uses the same supplier. Read each stage’s invitation for the actual platform and rules.
The published sequence is application, Technical First, immersive assessment, video interview, assessment center and offer. The technical stage covers coding, software engineering, data structures and related skills.
The business pathway moves from application to immersive assessment, video interview, assessment center and offer. Its published sequence does not include Engineering’s separate Technical First stage.
LSEG’s broader engineering careers page describes detailed technical interviews and coding challenges for some roles. This does not make the graduate sequence universal.
Both programme guides link to the Cappfinity Assessment Preparation Hub. Use that employer-linked resource before independent practice; the pages do not name every stage’s supplier.
LSEG limits candidates to one application per recruitment cycle, described in its FAQ as 12 months. Eligibility varies by programme and location.
The FAQ directs adjustment requests to the Early Careers team and technical issues to the support link in the assessment platform or invitation.
The business guide describes interactive challenges, but does not publish a fixed game list, pass mark or question count.
The technical assessment is distinct from later behavioral and collaborative stages.
The final selection stages require more than completing an online exercise.
Keep the vacancy closing date, assessment expiry and start date separate in your application notes.
| Cycle | Application dates | Likely assessment window | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early-career applications | Rolling recruitment; check the vacancy | Deadline stated in the invitation email | Official source LSEG encourages early completion. Extensions are not always possible, and the FAQ gives no fixed results timetable. |
| After completing an assessment | Not a new application deadline | Check submission confirmation | Official source Confirm that the platform recorded your submission, then monitor email and your Workday profile for updates. |
The following are original practice suggestions, not LSEG’s actual questions. Build a few well-understood examples rather than a script for every possible prompt.
For engineering preparation, solve a small problem and compare two approaches. State the input assumptions, complexity and failure cases. Test an empty input, duplicates and boundary values. Then explain why your chosen approach would be maintainable by someone else. Clear reasoning matters even when a first attempt needs correction.
Imagine a data feed has inconsistent records shortly before a customer deadline. Identify what must be checked, who needs to know and which actions are reversible. Explain the tradeoff between speed and reliability. Do not invent an internal LSEG policy; this is an exercise in structuring your judgment.
Choose one responsibility from the vacancy and explain why it interests you. Support the answer with a project, course or work example. Be ready to distinguish an interest in financial markets from the day-to-day work of building systems, serving clients or operating a business process.
In a practice discussion, agree a goal, share relevant information and track unresolved assumptions. Invite quieter participants and help summarize the decision. If you change your view, explain what evidence caused the change instead of treating disagreement as a contest.
Record a short example of solving a problem with others. State the situation, your decision and the result. Remove details that do not help explain your contribution. Check sound and framing using the platform’s practice facility when available.
The published Business sequence omits the separate Technical First stage. Follow your own programme invitation for any additional requirements.
No. The Cappfinity hub is linked officially, but this does not establish a supplier for every stage or role.
Use your Workday candidate profile and recruitment emails. There is no universal promised response interval.
No. It can help you become more comfortable with a format, but its score is not LSEG’s selection decision.
