Hello!
Ive been invited to complete the Bain online Assessment. Does anyone have any insights on what it is about and how to best prepare?
Also do they give this test to everyone who applies?
Thanks!

Hi there,
First of all, congratulations on the invitation from Bain!
I would be happy to share my thoughts on your questions:
- First of all, contrary to what other coaches have said, the type of pre-interview assessment depends on the country to which you are applying. For instance, in the USA, they currently use the TestGorilla pre-interview assessment, while in most of Europe, they use the Sova pre-interview assessment. The components and their focus change depending on the type of assessment. To which country have you applied?
- Moreover, if you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for and excel in your upcoming Bain pre-interview assessment, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
- Lastly, although it may not matter whether Bain does this or not, they typically send the pre-interview assessment used to all applicants, as do almost all other consulting firms.
You can find more on this topic here: How to succeed in the final interview round.
If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming Bain pre-interview assessment and/or interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
Best,
Hagen
Hi there,
All these tests are rather similar.
So do go for some of the examples mentioned below by the other coaches, and also try similar tests from other firms. The cross-learning potential from test to test is significant.

Hi,
The online Bain test takes 45-75 minutes testing numerical/analytical reasoning, verbal reasoning and business judgement.
Preparation are very similar like for a GMAT:
- practice math calculations and pattern/graph recognition
- test under time (rule of thumb: 1 minute/qustions)
- prepare fast reading
Let me know if you have further questions.

Adding to the above - you may be able to find some free resources to practice SHL, JobTestPrep, and CaseBasix
But yes Bain assessment questions are quite GMAT-esque
