6 practice questions for the Deloitte job simulation
A question appears on screen and you answer it to a camera, with nobody on the other end. You get one take, and the clock stops you whether you have finished or not.
Every question here is built from the competencies Deloitte publishes, or published word for word by a named source. None of them are Deloitte's interview questions, and this site has no connection to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited member firms.
Sources last read 21 August 2026. Every claim on this page links to the page it came from.
What Deloitte publishes about this stage
Every line is something Deloitte put on its own website, with the page and the date it was read beside it.
“You'll experience work-based scenarios where you'll be asked to respond to different types of questions, including: Ranking response options in order of preference; Selecting the most appropriate response(s) from a given set; Providing written responses; Recording video responses”
“There's no overall time limit for completing the assessment. However, we do recommend trying to complete it in one sitting to help you stay focused. Some questions are timed”
This applies to the Immersive Online Assessment (stage 2), not the job simulation.
“Behavioural Assessment: Here, we'll present you with realistic workplace scenarios... Cognitive Assessment: This section includes numerical and verbal reasoning questions.”
Not a game. Deloitte's stage 2 is an 'Immersive Online Assessment' with a behavioural and a cognitive component; stage 3 is a job simulation.
“After completing the job simulation, you'll receive a feedback report about your strengths. This isn't the outcome of your assessment, but it will provide you with valuable advice on how to develop your skills.”
“After you've completed the simulation, you'll receive an email letting you know how you did within four weeks.”
What Deloitte does not publish
The things people most want a number for. Nobody outside the process has one. Where another page hands you a confident figure for any of these, ask it where the figure came from.

Practice these questions on a timer
The recorder on this page uploads nothing. Camera and microphone are recorded into your browser's own memory, played back from there, and destroyed when you move on or close the tab. There is no fetch, no beacon and no form post in this widget, and you do not have to take that on faith: open your Network tab, record an answer, and watch that nothing is sent.
The graded scorecard linked below is a different page and works differently. Your video still never leaves your browser, because no route on this site accepts video. The audio of each answer goes once to our server and straight on to a speech-to-text service to be turned into text, then is dropped. We never store it. The text is what gets graded and the text is what we keep. This page also loads the site's analytics tags; all of it is set out in the privacy notice.
30 seconds to prepare, then up to 3 minutes to answer. Deloitte does not publish its timings, so these are this site's defaults, not Deloitte's. Treat them as a realistic worst case, not a fact about Deloitte.
6 questions, one take each. No follow-ups, because there is nobody on the other end.
This browser does not support in-page recording. The timed drill still works: the questions and both clocks run exactly the same.
Free account, no card. Grading is a separate step, linked below: your first 2 mocks come back scored for free, and no card is needed there either.
Read aloud uses your browser's own built-in speech voice. It is not an AI interviewer, and nothing on this screen is generated by AI.
Your delivery, timed
| Question | Prep used | Answer length | How it ended |
|---|
Clock measurements taken in your browser. They say nothing about whether the answers were any good. That is what the graded scorecard is for, and your first 2 come back free.
6 questions to practice, and where each one comes from
These are not Deloitte's interview questions. Nobody outside Deloitte has those. Each prompt below is either published word for word by the source named under it, or built from a competency Deloitte publishes, and it says which, every time.
-
1
Tell us about a time you changed how something was done rather than doing it the way it had always been done.
Competency: Lead the way
Built from a published competencyBuilt from Deloitte's published Shared Value 'Lead the way'. Practice prompt, not a Deloitte question.
Deloitte — Our purpose and Shared Values, read 21 August 2026
What a strong answer contains
Say what the old way was and who had to be persuaded. Change stories with no resistance in them read as invented.
-
2
Describe a situation where doing the right thing was going to be unpopular or inconvenient.
Competency: Serve with integrity
Built from a published competencyBuilt from Deloitte's published Shared Value 'Serve with integrity' and its published statement that 'integrity is at the heart of everything we do... it's fundamental to how we expect you to approach our recruitment process'. Practice prompt, not a Deloitte question.
Deloitte — Our purpose and Shared Values, read 21 August 2026
What a strong answer contains
The unpopularity is the test. Name who was unhappy and what you did anyway.
-
3
Tell us about a time you noticed a teammate was struggling and what you did.
Competency: Take care of each other
Built from a published competencyBuilt from Deloitte's published Shared Value 'Take care of each other'. Practice prompt, not a Deloitte question.
Deloitte — Our purpose and Shared Values, read 21 August 2026
What a strong answer contains
How you noticed matters as much as what you did. Say the signal you picked up on.
-
4
Describe a time you made sure someone who was being talked over got heard.
Competency: Foster inclusion
Built from a published competencyBuilt from Deloitte's published Shared Value 'Foster inclusion'. Practice prompt, not a Deloitte question.
Deloitte — Our purpose and Shared Values, read 21 August 2026
What a strong answer contains
One specific meeting, one specific person, one specific intervention. Values statements about inclusion score nothing without an event attached.
-
5
Tell us about a piece of teamwork where you can state the measurable result.
Competency: Collaborate for measurable impact
Built from a published competencyBuilt from Deloitte's published Shared Value 'Collaborate for measurable impact', whose own wording names 'tangible, measurable, attributable impact'. Practice prompt, not a Deloitte question.
Deloitte — Our purpose and Shared Values, read 21 August 2026
What a strong answer contains
Deloitte's own value uses the word 'attributable'. Say what the number was, and say honestly which part of it was yours.
-
6
You are given a workplace task where an AI tool could do part of the work. Talk us through how you would decide what to use it for and what to keep in your own hands.
Competency: Judgment and responsible use of tools
Built from a published competencyBuilt from Deloitte's own published description of what its job simulation contains: 'Some scenarios may refer to workplace tools like AI... We're interested in how you think and make decisions, how you solve problems, and consider using AI responsibly in a professional setting, not your technical AI knowledge.' Practice prompt, not a Deloitte question.
Deloitte UK — Early Careers Assessment Support, read 21 August 2026
What a strong answer contains
Deloitte says explicitly that no prior AI experience is needed and that it is testing judgment, not technical knowledge. So answer with a decision rule, not with tool names.

What Deloitte says about using AI as a candidate
Quoted, linked, and not paraphrased into something more convenient.
You may use AI feedback tools to practice for interviews, although your responses must be based on your own experiences and authentically reflect you.
Integrity Guidance (Early Careers), Deloitte LLP (UK), read 21 August 2026
- “AI can help you prepare for the selection process, manage your time, and meet deadlines.”
- “You might decide to use AI to help you process feedback and identify areas for development.”
- “AI must not be used when: Completing online assessments, including the Immersive Online Assessment, Onestop and Job Simulation: These assessments must be completed independently and without AI assistance.”
- “During interviews, whether in person or virtual: Interviews must be completed without AI assistance.”
Where this product sits. It is a preparation tool and nothing else. Never run it, or anything like it, during a live assessment or a recorded interview.

What this page is, and what it is not
- NailedIt.ai is not affiliated with Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited member firms or with any employer named on this site, and nothing here is endorsed by them.
- These are not real interview questions. They are practice prompts built from the competencies Deloitte publishes, plus questions published by the named sources.
- Practicing does not make you more likely to be hired. It makes you less likely to be surprised by a hard stop at 3 minutes.
- This is a preparation tool. Do not use it, or anything like it, during an actual assessment.
- The simulator on this page runs no AI. The graded scorecard is AI-generated and is labeled as such wherever it appears. Your first 2 scorecards are free; after that, more scorecards and the coaching (rewritten answers and drills) come with the Interview-Ready plan.
All 6 prompts above are built from the competencies Deloitte publishes. None of them is quoted as a Deloitte question, because Deloitte publishes none. 5 process facts come from Deloitte's own pages. 3 of the things people most want a number for are not published anywhere, and they are left blank above rather than filled in.
