Bain SOVA test

Hello

I've applied for the Bain ACI role in October of 2021 and am planning on applying for the Bain AC role now for 2023 entry. Will my SOVA test result from my ACI application be used against my AC application?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, 

Considering there is a 2 year gap, I would very confidently say 'no'.

However, just to make sure, you can always ask the recruiter if previous test results matter or whether you will be required to take the test. You can tell them that you are asking just so you can prepare better in the meantime. 

There's really no problem in asking this, so instead of worrying, ask directly.

Best,

Cristian

Hello,

I believe no - I don't think you will be evaluated using any materials from your old application, and will have to do the test again if needed for the application process. Feel free to confirm this with HR, however.

It's been such a long gap that I would be really surprised if they were, but it's worth asking the recruiting team just to be sure.

Hi there,

You will almost certainly be required to take the test again. Good luck!
