Accenture preparation tips
- Do 10 abstract (figure-based) reasoning questions daily. Pattern spotting only comes with practice.
- For the communication test, record yourself speaking English for 5 minutes a day and listen back.
- For technical MCQs, remember basic networking and cloud terms (IP, DNS, IaaS/PaaS/SaaS).
- In coding, always check edge cases such as empty input and a single element.
