I was fortunate to get an ADC R1 at BCG. Interview invites only went out a week before the interview, so I’ve only had time to do a little Casey prep with some online tools. I’m doing fine with the math, but some of the multiple choice/select the best options are tripping me up. I can usually get 2 of 3 choices correct.
My question is, would this be considered a “wrong” answer since I didn’t select all 3 of the right ones? Does anyone know how this part of the interview is assessed?

Hi there,
Fully understand where you are coming from here, it's all about the nuances in the Casey!
"How right do you have to be?"
Your chances are higher the more correct your answers (stating the obvious), however, as far as I am aware answers are not pass/fail but would take into account how many of the multiple choice you got correct.
One update for anyone reading this later: I wouldn't spend too much time trying to reverse-engineer a Casey cutoff. BCG doesn't publicly give you a reliable passing score, and the practical lever you can actually control is getting as accurate and efficient as possible across the different question types.
I've since built 10 interactive Casey simulations based on real exams so you can practice repeatedly under realistic conditions. Importantly, each simulation gives you an overall score plus a category-by-category breakdown across structuring, math, business judgment, and synthesis, with the answers and detailed explanations, so you can actually see where you're losing points and what to improve.
