Bain and LEK online test

Hi Mia!

Do you have a specific question? I'll assume you're asking for more info on what these online tests look like and how to prepare for them.

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. (Feel free to message me and I can send you some supplementary materials).

Hi Mia,

I would recommend to add a comment with your exact question, as Bain in particular has different tests in different geographies, and not a standardized process as McK and BCG.

Best,

Francesco
