Hello, 

I received an invitation to complete the BCG online test assessment. Does anyone here have experience in how to prepare for it?

I went through the material they shared with me and it appears to be a little bit like GMAT with an emphasis on solving some business related problem but not sure though.

Does it differ by region? (I am applying to BCG Middle East office)

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi there,

The new BCG Online Case (also called Chatbot Interview) is a new 8-10 questions test BCG started to use in the last years and now expanded globally. It is structured in 2 parts:

  • 8-10 questions to be taken in 25-30 minutes
  • 1 video interview question at the end, where you have to provide a recommendation

The main differences compared to the previous version (BCG Potential Test) are the following:

  1. 8-10 questions instead of 23
  2. 25-30 min instead of 45
  3. Calculators allowed
  4. Presence of open questions
  5. Video sum up at the end

The main challenges based on the candidates I helped are the following:

  1. Time. The questions are not particularly difficult, however you will feel time constraints also due to the fact you don’t know how difficult the next questions could be - thus how much time they may require
  2. Chatbot interaction. Unlike a test like the McK PST, you cannot proceed “at your own pace”. You will have to follow the evolution of the test as questions are revealed one by one
  3. Math. Candidates often find the math quite challenging given the time constraint

You can find an article on how to prepare here:

https://www.preplounge.com/en/articles/bcg-online-case

If you want to prepare for the Online Case in the best possible way, I created a software simulation replicating the chatbot and one-way video interview.

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.

You can get access to the software simulation and guide instantly here:

For any questions please feel free to PM me.

Best,

Francesco

Hey there,

The Casey is very similar to the old BCG Online Case or the McKinsey PST. It's basically a (computer-based) interviewer-led format with questions around idea generation, chart interpretation, and math.

Working towards good casing skills goes a long way.

There are good prep materials out there. Additionally, if you want free practice materials, look for the old McKinsey PSTs (A-C) and old BCG Online Cases.

If you can't find them, reach out and I am happy to point you in the right direction.

Cheers,

Florian

Hi there,

Yes, I have a lot of experience here guiding candidates through the test.

You're exactly right that it's essentially a merge of a case and the GMAT.

Feel free to shoot me a message and I'll send you through some prep resources.
