What a second attempt looks like
The same five moments of the Santander process, walked into cold and walked into with the pack.
Walking in coldWalking in with the pack
The numerical game
Walking in coldSpeed matters, so you rush the first rounds and the mistakes pile up.
With the packYou get it right untimed first, then speed up, using a quick method for each type of question.Practised from p.11, with quick methods at p.64
The shape game
Walking in coldUnder time pressure, you can’t tell a turned shape from a flipped one.
With the packYou apply the rule that matters, turned is allowed and flipped is not, after 20 shape drills.Practised from p.12
The video interview
Walking in coldA vague story about “a group project”, with no clear result.
With the packA two-minute answer with your own actions at its centre and a result you can evidence.Practised from p.19, with worked answers from p.68
The case study
Walking in coldYou summarise the pre-work back instead of deciding anything.
With the packYour recommendation comes first, in one sentence, then the two or three pieces of evidence that decide it.Practised in two full cases, from p.30
When new information arrives
Walking in coldNew facts land on the day and you defend your original answer.
With the packYou say what the new information changes and what it doesn’t, then revise your recommendation.Practised in both cases, at p.35 and p.46
Two full practice cases, two different jobs
Each case has pre-work, new information on the day and a competency interview linked to it, the format Santander has advertised. Route cases for Corporate and Commercial, Finance and Treasury, and Risk, Compliance and Audit follow at p.49.

Case D: choosing two AI use casesPre-work, new information and a linked interview
Santander’s deadlines can be as short as 72 hours. Prepare before your invite lands.
Its 2026 Data & AI graduate advert gave 72 hours for the games, then 72 hours for the video interview. Its general guidance says up to 7 days. The pack has a short-deadline plan and a longer one, so you know what to do with the time you have. No resource can guarantee an offer.

Questions
Anything else? Email admin@financepathway.co.uk.
Are these the real Santander assessment questions?
No. Live assessment questions aren’t public. Every drill, question and case is original practice built around Santander’s published process and recent candidate reports. The pack isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by Santander UK.
What makes the practice Santander-specific?
It follows Santander’s current graduate stages, uses its Simple, Personal and Fair values and its TEAMS behaviours throughout, and sets the cases in banking contexts linked to the 2027 streams.
Is this only for one route?
No. The shared stages are the core of the pack. On top of them are two full cases, one retail and customer and one digital and AI, plus route cases for Corporate and Commercial, Finance and Treasury, and Risk, Compliance and Audit.
I’ve already done the games. Is it still useful?
Yes. The video interview, two full assessment-centre cases, three route cases and 30 interview questions with guidance are all still ahead of you.
Will it get me an offer?
No resource can guarantee an offer. The aim is to make the real assessment feel familiar by giving you relevant practice beforehand and a structured way to review your answers.
Who wrote it?
Someone who went through graduate recruitment and went on to work in a UK corporate banking team, so the pack draws on experience of both the recruitment process and the role itself.
What do I get, and can I get a refund?
An 87-page PDF you can download up to five times within 90 days. If it isn’t useful, email us within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. At checkout we’ll ask you to confirm you want immediate access, which is standard for digital products. That doesn’t affect this guarantee or your statutory rights.

Practise with 70 games and judgement drills, 40 video interview questions and two full assessment-centre cases before you sit the Santander graduate assessments.
