Hi,
There are 2 types of BCG tests:
I have uploaded both test samples here (Online test is about airlines). I've also added BCG written case sample (Next round) and Bain written case. PM me for a password:

As for particular recommendations for online test:
Best!
Hello!
Good luck with that test, I know they are intimidating (they were the most intimidating part of the whole recruiting process for me).
I would strongly recomment you practice it with the Integrated Reasoning part of the GMAT exam.
There are free exams in the internet that you can use for practice (the one of LBS MBA page, Verits prep, as well as some free trials for courses such as the one of The Economist (https://gmat.economist.com/)
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Clara
Hi Ela,
First, good luck!
Second, 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.

Thank you for the resources Ian! I will take a look at them and try to solve them.
Hi Ela,
As my colleagues have already mentioned the best option would be practicing GMAT and PST Test.
Make sure you can do simple calculations and mental math without a calculator, understand account formulas, and use key business terms.
Good luck!

Hi,
It depends on whethre you are getting the new online test format or still the old one?
If it is the old format, GMAT practice would be quite similar.
However, if it is the new format (AI enabled interacive case with video summary recording), then you should practice differently. For the new format, 3 tips I would suggest:
Best,

Hi Emily, I am not sure which version of the test I am taking. I will be provided the sample test from BCG next week, so I am assuming that based on the sample test, I will figure out whether it is the old or new version. Thank you for your tips!
Hi Ela, do you mind sharing your experience with the test?
