BCG Online Assessment

Question

Hi,

I just did my BCG online assessment. However, when I submitted my choice for the last question. The system did not prompt me to the next section for video recording. I just ended abruptly. At that time, I still had six minutes remaining.

I emailed BCG to let them know of the situation, where they responded with "Thanks for your email. We’ve already received your OT submission and will contact you if any updates."

I am very confused and wonder if any one has any idea what's going on?

Answer 1

Hi there,

Confusing situation indeed! You need to sit on this! They've said they've received your submission so you need to let them review it. You should be ok. Fingers crossed for you!

For anyone reading this who has the test coming up, my BCG Casey Simulator is an excellent resource. It includes 10 simulations, video training and detailed explanations so you can practice before the real assessment.

Answer 2

I would not worry too much at this stage.

1. The most important point is that BCG confirmed they received your submission

Their response is actually reassuring. If the system had completely failed to submit your assessment, I would expect them to tell you that something was missing or ask you to retake it.

2. The missing video section may simply be related to the specific assessment flow

BCG does not always use exactly the same assessment setup for every office, role or recruiting process. So the fact that you expected a video section does not necessarily mean something went wrong.

Since they explicitly confirmed receipt of your OT submission, I would avoid doing anything else for now unless they contact you.

3. You already did the right thing

You documented the issue immediately and informed recruiting. That is exactly what you should have done.

At this point, I would simply keep their confirmation email and wait for the next update.

If you want, feel free to reach out and I’d be happy to share a few tips on how to approach Casey efficiently and what to prioritise during preparation.

Answer 3

Hii there :)

It sounds like BCG has successfully received your assessment, which is a good sign. The video section may not have been part of your specific assessment version, or the process may have ended automatically after the final question. I wouldn’t assume anything went wrong just because you had six minutes left.

You’ve done the right thing by contacting them. I’d wait for their update rather than sending another email for now.

Best, Alessa :)

Sorry to hear. I can imagine how this could create stress.

However, it also doesn't sound like you can do much about it now. Once you hear back from a human, then you could take some additional steps.

Best,

Answer 5

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the progress in the application process with BCG thus far!

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

First of all, the confirmation from BCG that they received your submission is a good sign, and I would strongly advise you not to worry.
Moreover, you already did the right thing by informing the recruiting team right away. I would advise you not to send any further emails for now and to keep their reply, in case the topic comes up again later.
Lastly, I would strongly advise you to use the waiting time to start your interview preparation, since the time between the invitation and the first interview round is often only one to two weeks.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming BCG interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen
