IBM Business Consultant interview questions

I filled in an application asking me for a short personal statement and then some simple questions. Once passing this stage, I was asked to complete a HireVue video interview. In this I was asked 3 competency based questions which has no time limit to respond (I personally took ages to prepare my answers and know exactly what I was going to say) but you could only record your answer once. Compared to other consultancy video interviews, which do have a time limit to respond, it seemed easy and you had plenty of time to answer (3 mins). Once passing this stage, I was given the IPAT. It consisted of sequences and a more mathematical based section. The sequences are very difficult and time pressured so I would recommend practicing the different types of sequences that might come up e.g. exotic sequences (there are some great websites out there if you simply google IPAT sequences practice - I thought they were similar to the real thing although slightly easier). I am now waiting to hear back to see if I passed and through to the assessment centre. The process has been very slow (months) so far.

Relatively smooth - had to do a few videos before, then online tests before being invited to an assessment day. None of it was too taxing but I withdrew from the process as it was taking a long time and I was offered a place elsewhere.
