Bain online test

Hi,

I would like to ask about Bain online test.

Anyone at here knows about how the Bain online test looks like? (number of questions, timing, any penalty for mistakes, passing grade, etc.)

How should I best prepare for it?

Do you have any samples of it?

Furthermore, I am looking for partners for case study. I have practiced more than 50 times in the past. Thus, I am looking for those who are in a similar situation. Please let me know if anyone of you are interested. 

Thank you for your attention.

Regards,

J

Hi,

Not sure if that is what you need but I have some materials that help with the Bain written case.

PM me for a password.

Best!

Hello Jerry,

It's very similar to PST and GMAT. 

If you have already started your preparation for case interviews and good at reading charts, analytical thinking, and mental math, then Bain potential is an additional of probably an hour as what you should plan for. 

Also I have some recommendations to you:


1) Keeping your math trained with GMAT exercises is always a good idea. Free resourced can be found online, for example:
http://www.mba.com/global/the-gmat-exam/prepare-for-the-gmat-exam/test-prep-materials/free-gmat-prep-software.aspx
https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat

https://www.mba.com/-/media/files/mba2/assessments/2018/gmat/gmat-handbook-2020-07-10.pdf?la=en&hash=9DCAD3E9A43EEE7B520C84327FBEC6F399A72D82


2) Also tests that usually are for investment banks (with graphs analysis) are a useful. Free resourced can be found online, for example:
https://www.tptests.com/Candidate/practice/Instructions

3) Official BGC Potential test examples: https://www.bcg.com/careers/path/consulting/practice-interview-cases.aspx

Does it make sense to you?

Cheers,
GB
