Hello everyone,
I would like to ask about the best way to prepare for the online case interview if any had any tips to pass the test.
I have just received an email that the online test is this week. I have been practising but would like to be more confident in my abilities.
Hi Khadijah,
Q: I would like to ask about the best way to prepare for the online case interview if any had any tips to pass the test.
I provided some information below on the assessment.

The BCG Online Case (also called Casey Chatbot Interview) is an 8-10 questions test BCG now used globally. It is structured in 2 parts:

If you want to prepare further for the Online Case, I created a software simulation replicating specifically the chatbot and one-way video interview.
It includes the following and more:

Hi there,
Practice, practice practice.
I have four REAL past tests with answers. I also have a discount code for a simulation. Feel free to message for both.
=================How to Prepare====================
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!
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!
The short and obvious answer is … practice.
There's a direct correlation between how much you practice and how high you score on screening tests.
When I was applying, I practiced every day on a mental math drill. I doubled my score in the space of two months or so. And since then I've seen this happen with plenty of candidates.
So, in short, aim to get as much time as possible between the now and the test and then practice as much as possible between then and now.
Additionally, sharing with you a collection of all the typical terms that show up in consulting interviews:
Best,
Cristian
