Hey! Did anyone do the BCG Potential test in a German office recently?

Hey,

I am wondering if someone who has done the BCG Potential test in the last month in Germany could share his/her experience? 

Which industry was it about, questions you remember, etc. ..

Would love to hear from you; it would be extremely helpful. 

Many thanks and a fantastic weekend.

Hi,

I did it in germany two weeks ago. It was about consumer goods (beverage). I found it way tougher than the one I got from BCG to practice.

I also had a beverage case during my VA interview last december - probably the exact same case.

Ich hatte am Freitag (23.8.) auch eine Case zum Getränkemarkt als Online Case im BCG Office. Bei PN gerne mehr Infos.

only replying so that I can see future answers. Also does someone know whether the BCG test/case interview will be held in German or English?

I've been told there are two interviews, one in German, one in English. The practice test they sent was in German, so I'd assume that's in German in real life, too.

is this practice test a numerical reasoning test? or just a case study - I'm unsure how to process works because BCG's website doesn't state you have to pass an online test, but on all these forums people have said there is one..

You have to take an Online-Case on the same day you have your two case interviews. The case should (supposedly) be similar to the ones you find in the interactive case library (ICL) on the BCG website: https://www.bcg.com/Interactives/ICL/.
