Hey Youssef,
I took this test as well as part of my the application process for L.E.K. London, where I also received an offer. It feels a lot like school, as there was a whole group of us taking it in a room at the same time.
In terms of preparation: I would recommend practising under time pressure with the following material:
a) GMAT / GRE books (from the quant / logical sections obviously)
b) McKinsey PST (which is harder than L.E.K. but good practice)
c) case material requiring you to quickly grasp the takeaway from data
In terms of recommendations: One important thing to keep in mind is that this is a pass/fail test and not a winner-take-all situation. You are not competing with the others, you just have to get above the cut-off score. This also means that you need to be smart about time: if you don’t understand a question, or get stuck, make a note of it and skip to the next one. If you have time at the end, return to the time-intensive questions you made a note of and work on them, but only after you answered the “quick” ones.
Hope this helps :)
Best wishes
Jon

Hi Zoltan, did you do the test and what was your experience? I also have to complete it soon. It would be great if you shared some insights with me. Many thanks. — Anonym B am 13. Nov 2019
