Bain Test - London office

Hello Preplounge community,

I am about to take Bain online test - London office. I am not sure if they have negative marking for wrong answers as they have not mentioned anywhere. Should I attempt all questions and guess if I am not sure about the answer or should I only answer those questions in which I feel confident?

Anybody who has taken the test, please confirm. Thank you very much in advance.

Can you explain your question in more detail? I'm not sure what you mean.

Hi there,

You will be penalized for wrong answers.

At least, this is my understanding from various websites.

As such, only answer if you have confidence in your answers

Hello,
Yes, you are right you will be penalized for wrong answers. So prepare yourself. Actually, if you have started your preparation for the case interview and good at reading charts, analytical thinking, and mental math, then there is no way to be afraid of it. Also, you can check yourself in a mock potential test.

Was it helpful to you?
