BCG HireQuotient Online Assessment

Hi Guys! I am taking the BCG HireQuotient Online Assessment tomorrow. I have two questions about it.

1) is this the same as the caseychat bot? 

2) Can I use a calculator during the test?

Thank you!

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation from BCG!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your questions:

  • First of all, the BCG HireQuotient Online Assessment is indeed the BCG Casey pre-interview assessment.
  • Moreover, you are allowed to use a calculator. I believe they mention this when you begin the pre-interview assessment.

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 authentic BCG Casey sets and/or how to best prepare for your upcoming BCG interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Yes to both questions. 

There are lots of resources online for prep, but check also the Q&A section for advice given to previous candidates. 

You can also use ChatGPT to get a better understanding of the test and how to best prepare for it. 

Best,
Cristian

As previous coaches mentioned - the answer to both of your questions is yes.

Hey there :)

  1. The BCG HireQuotient Assessment is different from the Casey Chatbot. HireQuotient focuses more on business judgment, data interpretation, and logical thinking, while Casey simulates an interactive case interview.
  2. Yes, you're allowed to use a calculator during the HireQuotient test, and it's actually recommended to save time on math questions.

Good luck tomorrow, and feel free to reach out if you have more questions!

best,
Alessa :)
