What is ICAEW 100?
Once a participant creates an account, they will receive guidance on how to navigate the assessment platform and tackle the challenges presented to them.
The online exercise is designed to mimic psychometric assessments, requiring participants to think critically and respond to various situations that chartered accountants encounter in their day-to-day work.
The online exercise assesses participants' strengths, provides a personalised feedback report and shares a real insight into the world of chartered accountancy. The better a participant's score, the higher they will place on the ICAEW 100 leaderboard.
