bp Geoscience interview questions

Number of stages: Online Tests (verbal and numerical), Telephone Interview (competency based), Technical Interview and Assessment Centre. Technical interview was on site and involved a number of questions about yourself and your past experiences followed by the more technical questions which included discussion of a recent university project.

Initial CV screening, followed by psychometric, verbal and numerical reasoning testing. This was followed by a friendly phone interview which asked mainly strength based questions. Technical interview at either Aberdeen or London office followed. This was not too high level as mathematicians and physicists also attend these interviews. The interviewers wanted to see a good thought process rather than the correct answer. Finally an assessment centre involving team, individual and presenting exercises.
