Hi there,
The best way is to really find online tests / questions and practice. Regardless as to whether is a new or old test, the principles are mostly the same:
- Time management (need to think quick)
- Business knowledge/context (incl key formulas)
- Critical thinking (answers that are very similar to each other...clues "hidden" in the text)
- Ability to interpret data/charts
Think of it as a merge of a case and the GMAT/GRE.
You need to be clear on some key case-related and account formulas (margin, growth, breakeven, etc) as well as be good at critically understanding the question (including nuance to questions) and parsing through complicated text with a fair amount of distraction.
You'll also need to be good at chart/graph reading.
The (old) McKinsey PST, BCG Online Test, Bain SOVA test, etc. are all quite similar so leverage resources across all of them (feel free to message if you'd like any of these!)

- Bain ME online assessment is SOVA-style. Patterns, psychometric, math, verbal etc. Think of it as GMAT and beyond. So practice SOVA-style assessments.
- From what I know from recent coachees - it is not “timed”. However, time-to-solve is taken into consideration.
- Areas to focus depend on your strengths and weaknesses.
- Happy to help you out in your areas of weakness. Let me know.
