Bain's Hirevue Online Test

Hi everyone,
 

Just want to know your opinions on Bain's Hirevue online test which I have taken earlier and felt it was much more difficult compare to McKinsey PST which I really did not expect that
 

Do you feel the same way? Is the online test does really have rumored threshold of 70% and you will fail under that score?


Look forward to your responses!

Hi there, 

Sorry to hear you found it challenging. Many candidates claim the same thing. 

Regarding the 70% threshold, this is by no means an official number so don't cling on it too much. Some offices decide on which candidates to progress further regardless of their score in the test. 

Best,
Cristian

Hi there,

 

The test is not easy and that is common feedback across the board. I don't think there is a specific threshold to pass but I do know the score is coupled with other assessment factors upon screening.
