Hello! I recently got invited to start the recruiting process with BCG Latin America for the position of Associate. I have my first online case assessment coming up on March 3rd, are there any tools or resources to make sure I perform good on this assessment? For how long should I prepare? Thank you!

Hi there,
1) Are there any tools or resources to make sure I perform good on this assessment?
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:
- 8-10 questions to be taken in 25-30 minutes
- 1 video interview question at the end, where you usually have to provide a recommendation in 1 minute

You can find 10 key tips to prepare for the test here:

If you want to prepare further for the online case, I created a software simulation that replicates exactly the chatbot and one-way video interview.
It includes the following and more:
- 4 Casey Software Simulations of the Chatbot. These are live chatbots simulating exactly the same chatbot environment of the test (meaning you will receive questions from an actual chatbot with a flow equivalent to the one of the test).
- 4 One-Way Video Interviews. These come with Artificial Intelligence reports, so that you can see how the software will perceive your performance in terms of voice, speech clarity, energy and more.
- 2 PDF Simulations of the Chatbot. These are additional tests Casey-style, meaning you will have 6 different Casey Chatbots to train with overall.
- 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 right away to the software simulation and guide at the link below:

2) For how long should I prepare? Thank you!
If you use the simulation above, I would allocate 1 hour to each simulation to do the case and review the answers (so 6 hours in total) plus 1 hour to read the pdf guide. So overall, with 7 hours you should have a solid preparation.
Good luck!

Congrats on the interview invite!
Look up ‘BCG Casey’ online, and you're going to start seeing lots of examples.
Basically, the test is a computer version of a case study and is trying to see if you have the basic skills to make it worth interviewing you.
Aside from doing actual cases as practice, to improve your ability around numerical, I would recommend that you practice on McKinsey PST tests (the format they were using before the current game) and GMAT questions.
The more you practice, the better you'll be.
Good luck!

Woohoo! Well done.
As it turns out I have 5 of the past real BCG cases (with answer keys). So, of course I'd recommend that!

Hi,
There are a few resources out there to help you prepare, but a few callouts from myself on preparing with these materials
- Some prep materials are better quality than others - so do take a critical mind/eye to whatever materials you are using
- It is important to learn and build the right fundamentals, and not memorize answers or hope that one of your prep material is repeated → this is because you never can anticipate what you might be shown
All the best!
