Hi Eglantine,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your questions:

  • First of all, several of my coachees have successfully completed the BCG Casey pre-interview assessment recently, which essentially hasn't changed ever since.
  • Moreover, since the BCG Casey is essentially a case study that you solve on your own, I would highly advise you to focus your preparation on practicing case studies with peers and on your own, as this is the best way to prepare for it.
  • Lastly, in case you can get your hands on authentic BCG Casey sets, this could help you further.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on authentic BCG Casey sets, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi Eglantine,

Q: BCG Casey online assessment: what was your experience like and what should I focus my revisions on?

I provided some information below on the assessment.

The BCG Online Case (also called Casey Chatbot Interview) is an 8-10 questions test BCG now used globally. It is structured in 2 parts:

  • 8-10 questions to be taken in 25-30 minutes
  • 1 video interview question at the end, where you usually have to provide a recommendation in 1 minute

You can find 10 key tips to prepare for the test here:

If you want to prepare further for the online case, I created a software simulation that replicates exactly the chatbot and one-way video interview.

It includes the following and more:

  • 4 Casey Software Simulations of the Chatbot. These are live chatbots simulating exactly the same chatbot environment of the test (meaning you will receive questions from an actual chatbot with a flow equivalent to the one of the test).
  • 4 One-Way Video Interviews. These come with Artificial Intelligence reports, so that you can see how the software will perceive your performance in terms of voice, speech clarity, energy and more.
  • 2 PDF Simulations of the Chatbot. These are additional tests Casey-style, meaning you will have 6 different Casey Chatbots to train with overall.
  • Free access to 6 PSTs and Potential Tests for further practice.
  • Deep explanation of all the 5 types of questions asked in the BCG Online Case thanks to the complimentary 144-page guide.

Good luck!

Eglantine,

I had several candidates do it since the start of the year, and based on their description of the text and their experience, it doesn't differ from the format BCG used last year. 

So any materials that you find on it should still be relevant for your preparation. 

Best,
Cristian

If you have done it in the past, it should be similar and you should focus your revisions on the specific parts you stuggled with last time.

AFAIK there hasn't been any change to Casey in recent times. If you find specific difficulties then let me know - happy to suggest you the right tips and tricks focused on your gap areas.
