Hi there,
Luckily, all of these online tests are very similar
Format? Somewhat different. Content and what's required from you ability-wise? Essentially the same.
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.

Hi there,
First of all, congratulations on the invitation from Bain!
I would be happy to share my thoughts on your situation:
- First of all, considering the limited time and your current work commitments, I would highly advise you to reach out to an experienced (Bain) coach who has in-depth knowledge about the Bain Sova pre-interview assessment to expedite the preparation process. They can provide tailored guidance and tips to help you maximize your preparation in a short time.
- Moreover, focus on understanding the structure and format of the Bain Sova pre-interview assessment. This will help you anticipate the types of tasks and questions you might encounter.
- Lastly, practice under time constraints similar to those in the actual assessment. This will help you manage your time effectively during the test.
You can find more on this topic here: Speed reading techniques.
If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming Bain interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
Best,
Hagen
