How could I best prepare for Analytical Test of Roland Berger, China Practice?

Question

hello there, anyone could give clues about the types of the analytical test required by RB and how to best prepare for it?

Answer 1

Hi,

I recommend using the following sources to train math and critical reasoning:

Fast math skills

Rounding up and down
Learn how to multiply double digit numbers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ndkkPZYJHo)
Learn the division table up to 1/11 (i.e. 5/6 = 83.3)
Learn how to work with zeros using powers (e.g.: 4000000 = 4*10ˆ6)

Use math tools (Mimir math for iOS), Math tool on Viktor Cheng website to practice

Math and Critical reasoning

GMAT test CR, IR and quant parts (Official guide and Manhattan prep)
Refresh basic topics like statistics, probabilities etc (Any GMAT or MBA prep guides)
Try Mckinsey practice tests to train speed
Try PST like tests from the web

Best!

Answer 2

Caveat: I dont know the specifics

Having said that... I'd practice the McK PST test and others similar to it. At the end of the day, consulting is consulting, and we all look for the same qualities in applicants.

A bit of GMAT-type math wont hurt either obviously.

Good luck

Answer 3

Hello!

Although I don´t have the particulra experience with the test in China, the good news is that most of the online tests are very similar, and test the same skillset. It´s a good thing, since you can prep for them with a very unified approach.

I would strongly recomment you practice it with the Integrated Reasoning part of the GMAT exam.

There are free exams in the internet that you can use for practice (the one of LBS MBA page, Verits prep, as well as some free trials for courses such as the one of The Economist (https://gmat.economist.com/)

Furthermore, you can leverage the MBB tests (https://www.myconsultingoffer.org/case-study-interview-prep/bcg-online/, https://www.psychometricinstitute.co.uk/Free-Aptitude-Tests.asp, and many others)

Hope it helps!
