Goldman Sachs Online Assessment
Goldman Sachs' 2027 New Analyst Program in Engineering (Asia Pacific) screens with a proctored HackerRank test in two timed sections: Software Fundamentals (30 minutes, one data structures and algorithms problem) and Math (22 minutes, 8 multiple-choice questions on calculus, linear algebra and probability).
The math is first-year university level and the clock is tight, about 2.5 minutes per question. Everything below is candidate-reported from a September 2026 sitting. Last updated October 16, 2026.

Engineering New Analyst Program — Software Fundamentals (Asia Pacific, 2027)
One data structures and algorithms problem. In the 2026 sitting: split an array into three non-empty groups and pick one element from each group to minimize |a1 - a2| + |a2 - a3|. Our version runs in the Python judge with hidden tests.
- Three Groups, One Pick Each: Minimize the Two Gaps Coding · medium
Engineering New Analyst Program — Math (Asia Pacific, 2027)
Eight multiple-choice questions on calculus, linear algebra and probability. The titles below are our bank versions, written from the reported topics with verified answers; where the report gave only the form of a question (the piecewise density, the arc length), the numbers are ours.
- Two Three-Wheeled Cars: Probability One Has All Tires Flat Probability · easy
- Largest Possible Covariance Given Two Variances Probability · easy
- Normalize a Piecewise Density, Then Find an Interval Probability Probability · easy
- Arc Length of y = (2/3) x^(3/2) on [0, 1] Calculus · easy
- Total Area Between sin(2x) and sin(-2x) on [-pi, pi] Calculus · easy
- Maximize 4x^2 y on the Unit Circle: Locate the Maximizer Calculus · easy
- If AB = I for Square Matrices, What Must Hold? Linear algebra · easy
- Real, Complex and Orthogonal Diagonalization: Which Claims Hold? Linear algebra · medium
After the online assessment
We do not yet hold a verified report of the 2027 live rounds. Public guides describe technical interviews with engineers (data structures, algorithms, coding) plus motivation and fit questions.

What is the format of the Goldman Sachs OA?
It runs as 2 tracks (Software Fundamentals (Asia Pacific, 2027), Math (Asia Pacific, 2027)). Engineering New Analyst Program, Engineering New Analyst Program, each timed and auto-graded where applicable.
How do I practice for the Goldman Sachs online assessment?
Work the sample questions above (each with a full worked solution), then take the interactive Goldman Sachs OA practice on QuantVault. For the full interview, see the Goldman Sachs interview-questions set.
What is on the Goldman Sachs Engineering New Analyst HackerRank test?
A 2026 candidate for the 2027 Asia Pacific program reports two timed sections: Software Fundamentals (30 minutes, one data structures and algorithms problem) and Math (22 minutes, 8 multiple-choice questions on calculus, linear algebra and probability).
How hard is the Goldman Sachs Engineering math section?
The reported items are first-year university results: a flat-tire probability, a covariance bound, normalizing a density, an arc length, an area between curves, a Lagrange multiplier, and two matrix questions. The challenge is the clock, about 2.5 minutes per question.
Is the Goldman Sachs HackerRank test proctored?
Yes, according to the 2026 report. The same report says the invite allowed AI tools inside the HackerRank environment; check the rules in your own invite.
