How should I prepare for casey?
Should I create structure just as I would in normal casing or is it not necessary?
Since there are 8-10 questions, how should I allocate my 30 minutes wisely?

Hi there,
First, learn to case. (You need to know the same business concepts, ways of thinking, etc.
Second, practice with real tests.
Allocate your 30 minutes just like you would a normal test - try to move quickly through questions and watch the clock!
I have a simulation of the test. Feel free to message me and I can take you through it!
Now, in terms of preparation.
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:
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,
1) How should I prepare for casey?
I would recommend the following simulation (full disclosure – I am the author ;)).

It includes the following and more:
2) Should I create structure just as I would in normal casing or is it not necessary?
There are actually 5 different types of questions asked in the Chatbot, so not just structure-related. You can find a complete analysis in the 144-page PDF guide that you can access for free with the software simulation linked above.
3) Since there are 8-10 questions, how should I allocate my 30 minutes wisely?
From the feedback of the candidates I helped, the math questions take quite some more time compared to the others. So you cannot exactly allocate the time in the same way for all questions. If you train with the tests above, you should get a good idea of how to allocate the time in the best way.
For other questions please feel free to PM me.
Best,

Hello!
On top of the many free resources that you can find online, in PrepL´s library there is a new material precisely about this, check it out!
