Bank of America technology online assessment 2027

Provider: SHL or HackerRank (reported), HireVue

Which programme are you applying to?

Bank of America is reported to change the test by programme. Pick yours and the drills above change to match; the rest of the page is the firm as a whole.

What they send: SHL aptitude tests or a HackerRank coding test reported before the HireVue, where the front office programmes get the HireVue alone.

Why this programme differs: Technology tracks are reported to sit SHL or HackerRank tests instead of going straight to the recorded interview. Which one varies by programme and year in the reports. Nothing here runs a coding round. Practise on a coding platform with hidden test cases, and rehearse the edge cases graders always include: the empty input, the single element, the case where nothing works.

Providers change between cycles and firms rarely publish their tests, so everything here is what candidates report and what the provider documents, in that order of trust. Treat it as where to start, not a promise.

What the test is like

Goldman Sachs and Bank of America video interviews

Built by HireVue

Format
No aptitude test for the front office spring weeks. Both send a HireVue recorded interview: three to five questions, about 30 seconds to prepare and 90 seconds to two minutes to answer each, on motivation, teamwork and a market or problem solving prompt. Bank of America's version is reported to add situational judgement and written case modules for some divisions.
Timing
Around 20 minutes end to end. Marked by recruiters watching the recordings; neither firm publishes the criteria.
What is uncertain
Some Bank of America tracks (technology, wealth) are reported to sit SHL or HackerRank tests instead, and Goldman's Americas process differs from EMEA. Treat the question list as typical rather than fixed.
How to practise
Firm Prep rehearses HireVue questions by firm with marking. Situational Strengths covers the judgement modules.
