Hi, has anyone recently applied for a full-time role at Bain & Company in Germany and can share which assessment they’re currently using - SOVA or TestGorilla?
Online Assessment at Bain & Company (Germany)
Short answer: it depends on the office and even the specific role, so there isn’t one fixed test for Germany.
From what people have been seeing recently, both SOVA and TestGorilla are still used. There’s a slight trend toward TestGorilla, but SOVA definitely hasn’t disappeared.
TestGorilla is more of a classic timed test with numerical and logical reasoning, a bit like GMAT style under pressure. SOVA is broader and can include reasoning, situational judgment, and sometimes personality or video elements.
So realistically, you could get either. The safest approach is to prepare for timed numerical and logical reasoning, since that covers the core of both.
If you want, I can give you a quick prep plan depending on which one you get. best, Alessa :)
