Halo, Does anyone know the type of questions BAIN SEA/Brazil gives for the first assessment (just after you submit your cv)?
How can I learn that ?
Thank you

Hi there,
I helped a few candidates who passed recently the Bain SEA test.
The structure of the test was the following:
PST and BCG Potential Test would be good to practice for it, the questions are quite similar.
Before the test, they will send you an email clarifying if this is indeed the format for your particular case.
Hope this helps,
Francesco
For Bain Southeast Asia the recruiter can give you sample test questions (no answers) if you ask. It's quite heavy in math, charts, and structuring problems (e.g. logical progression when doing analysis).
Hello!
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. Although this may not seem so at first sight since the formats may differ, what is important here -as well as when solving cases- is the core skillset they are tryng to test. This is common, and the most important skills are:
80-20 analysis: capacity to analize, interpret and extract conclusions quickly and in a agile way from a ton of data -of which not all is useful-
Analytic and critical thinking: many ways tested with graphs, charts and tables, that you need to understand and derive decisions or insights from
Mathematical skills: are always somehow present, for which you need to be fast int he basics
The way to get better is practicing as much as possible with similar exercises -those targeted at the same skillset-. Hence, 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 (gmat.economist.com/)
Furthermore, you can leverage the MBB tests (myconsultingoffer.org/case-study-interview-prep/bcg-online/, psychometricinstitute.co.uk/Free-Aptitude-Tests.asp, and many others)
Hope it helps!
Best,
Clara
Hi there,
I presume you're asking about the online assessment or SOVA?
The best way to prepare is to find online tests / questions and practice. Regardless as to whether is a new or old test, the principles are mostly the same:
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!)
Hi, I have some practice example to share in PM and dedicated sessions to crack it
Best,
Antonello
