I applied to the BCG women's workshop (Aspire 2025), and I've received an email from them to complete a gamified assessment. How can I prepare for this assessment? any tips, please?
Has anyone had the opportunity to be accepted to the Aspire workshop before and has had this assessment before?
Hi there!
BCG has different tests types such as chatbot and online case study. It depends on the office's location. I recommend you to reach out to the HR representative of your country or a fellow Aspire member from your country to evaluate what would this be so you can prepare properly.
Exciting times ahead, good luck!
Best,

I am surprised they are doing the assessment to be honest. Is it pymetrics?
Hi there,
I do not believe that you can particularly prepare for this other than speaking to fellow candidates or friends who have done this as well. I would not think that you need specific prep to do it.

Hi there,
Seems to be very new since BCG is using the Chatbot, the Cognitive Test and the Pymetrics across the globe - never heard of another gamified assessment. My tip would be to practice with tests that are similar to the Pymetrics.
All the best,
Florian
Hey there ?,
Congrats on getting the invite to the Aspire 2025 assessment—that’s already a great sign! The gamified assessment BCG uses is typically through a platform like Pymetrics or Arctic Shores, depending on your region. Here’s how to think about it:
– It’s not like a typical test—it measures cognitive traits, risk tolerance, attention to detail, emotional intelligence, and decision-making speed
– There are usually short games, each testing a specific behavioral or mental skill (like memory, impulse control, pattern recognition, etc.)
– Rest well before the test—it’s more about your natural reaction under time pressure than hard knowledge
– Don’t try to “game” it—just be consistent, focused, and genuine in how you respond
– Keep your environment distraction-free—some games are fast-paced
– Trust your instincts—confidence + focus > overthinking
Let me know if you want to walk through how this fits into your Aspire strategy or how to position yourself once you pass the assessment—I’d love to support you! ?
Best,
Alessa ?
I also applied for the event and want to practice for the assessment.
Let's connect to prepare together.
Do you mind sharing what the process was like last year? I applied this year and just finished my online games assessment. Thank you
