I have an interview with BCG in a couple of weeks for a German office, there will also be a part called "BCG Real Life". On their website, they give a relatively vague description of the content (3x12 minutes, real life situation of a consultant).
Could someone give a few examples of what situations I could be tested in this part and if there is an efficient way to prepare for them?

For the calculation of annual pass holders, isn't it 60,000 passes, given that we assume that 600,000 visitors use their pass 10 times per season?

Hi,
I will also have my 2nd round in Germany soon (maybe we could get in touch).
As I know from friends that work at BCG, the real-life interviews will also test the weaknesses that you showed in the first round.
It can range from:
- getting information from a client during a taxi ride
- producing an executive slide for a partner based on multiple slides you receive
- convincing colleagues over lunch about an idea
- writing an email to a client
- ....
Hope it helped a little bit. BCG says you can't prepare for those short interviews.
I think you can already go through some situations and train things like producing slides etc.
