Hello, 
I recently received the assessment for Strategy& Dubai Office for entry level associate consultant. Did anyone take it, are there any prep material similar to it online? Would really appreciate any heads up regarding what to expect or similar tests online?

Hi there,

Honestly, all of these online tests are very similar

Format? Somewhat. Content and what's required from you ability-wise? Not at all.

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:

  • Time management (need to think quick)
  • Business knowledge/context (incl key formulas)
  • Critical thinking (answers that are very similar to each other...clues "hidden" in the text)
  • Ability to interpret data/charts

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, 

With Strategy& there's usually a behavioural part and a numerical part. 

The behavioural part has questions that can be situational, trying to understand how you would react within a certain context. Whereas the numerical part is similar to the sort of test that you get at many consulting firms, testing for basic business comprehension, chart interpretation, quick maths and GMAT style questions. You can find examples on the internet for all of them. 

Best of luck with the prep!

Hello, 

Its a two part test introduced as an additional screening measure because of the large number of applications received. The first one as highlighted is a standard test (utilized by several strategy houses) measuring your problem solving/numerical reasoning as well as verbal knowledge skills. You don't necessarily need any specific preparation for this. You will be required to provide your answers in a given time interval. 

Second part is a series of multiple choice questions around your personality traits. 

Good luck and reach out if any further questions

I suggest you practice doing calculations + GMAT Quantitative Reasonsing - Problem Solving section (start with the official material) + everything you can get from other firm's tests.

This should be more than enough.
