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:

  • 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,

1) How should I prepare for casey?

I would recommend the following simulation (full disclosure – I am the author ;)).

https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop/tests-2/bcg-online-case-combo-software-simulation-79

It includes the following and more:

  • 2 Software Simulations of the Chatbot. These are live chatbots simulating exactly the same chatbot environment of the test (meaning you will receive questions by an actual chatbot with a flow equivalent to the one of the test).
  • 2 PDF Simulations of the Chabot. These are additional tests Casey-style, meaning you will have 4 different Casey Chatbots to train.
  • 2 One-Way Video Interviews. These come with Artificial Intelligence reports, so that you can see how the Video Software will perceive your performance in terms of voice, speech clarity, energy and more.
  • Free access to 6 PSTs and Potential Tests for further practice.
  • Deep explanation of all the 5 types of questions asked in the BCG Online Case thanks to the complimentary 144-page guide.

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,

Francesco
