JPMorgan (NAMR Quantitative Research) Online Assessment
JPMorgan's NAMR Quantitative Research campus hiring (2027 cycle) opens with a 60-minute HackerRank online assessment: two sections, one Python coding question each, limited to Python 2 & Python 3 - the timer cannot be paused once started. It is a straight algorithms screen (no finance, no math MCQs), solved as a single function against the HackerRank harness. Everything here is candidate-reported: three separate 2027 sittings were captured in screenshots, surfacing five unique questions - and one of them, the thread-pool dropped-requests counter, appeared verbatim (same samples) in two of the three sittings. The rotation is small and repeats are real, so drilling the full recovered pool covers the sitting you will actually get.

Quantitative Research — NAMR campus coding OA (2027)
Each real sitting draws 2 questions from a small rotating pool; three reported 2027 sittings surfaced the five unique questions below (the thread-pool counter repeated across two of the three - learn it first). All five run as a timed set with the exact statements, samples, and reference approaches.
- Thread Pool: Count Dropped Requests Coding · easy
- Signal Frequencies Through Every Filter Coding · easy
- Minimum Length After Deleting 'AB' / 'BB' Coding · medium
- Make the First Half an Anagram of the Second Coding · easy
- Total Cost of Merging Min and Max Coding · medium
HireVue Video Interview (after the OA) — 3 recorded questions (2026 Quantitative sitting)
Not part of the HackerRank sitting: candidates who clear the coding OA report receiving a one-way HireVue link next. Format transcribed from a 2026 Quantitative sitting's screenshots: 3 questions; each shows a prep countdown of about 30 seconds, a 2-minute maximum response time and exactly 1 retry; the instructions screen prohibits ChatGPT and other AI tools not expressly approved. The three questions asked: (1) 'What is your top priority in deciding your next job?' (2) 'Imagine that you had to present complex information to someone with limited knowledge of the subject. What steps would you take in order to help ensure your audience understood your presentation?' (3) 'Tell me about a time when you detected a potential issue and developed a solution before it turned into a real problem. Describe the situation, the actions you took, and the outcome.' The 2027 JPM-wide HireVue bank (49 prompts: opener, 25 behavioral STAR, 5 situational, 6 commercial awareness, 12 IB-flavored technical - firm-wide, not QR-specific), timing notes and STAR scoring notes are transcribed on the HireVue Video Interview stage of the JPMorgan funnel.
Campus / early careers — SHL Values and Mindset (2027)
Alongside the coding screen, 2027 campus candidates report an SHL 'Values and Mindset Assessment': 76 forced-choice triads of first-person statements - pick the one most like you, then the better of the remaining two, so every item becomes a full ranking. It is a personality instrument with no objectively correct answers; what the platform measures is the shape and consistency of your profile (near-identical statements recur on purpose). Our walkthrough runs all 76 captured triads with the picks a circulating candidate answer key marks as scoring well - teamwork and client focus near the top, no 'never'/'always' extremes, a competitive, ambitious, empathetic, adaptable persona - and flags where that key contradicts itself. Branding caveat: the capture shows only the SHL shell, and its statement bank is identical to SHL's standard instrument captured at other firms.
