Hello,
I currently have a Casey online assessment with BCG on Sunday, is it possible to prepare two days before the case? If so, what material would help me prepare in this short amount of time? Is the online assessment a decider if I go through the next round or is it a holistic approach with my resume and CL? Thank you for any help given!

Hi there,
1) Is it possible to prepare two days before the case?
If you use a guide/course with a few simulations, it should take 6-10 hours to have a solid preparation. Depending on how much time you have available, two days could be enough.
2) If so, what material would help me prepare in this short amount of time?
You can find 10 key tips to prepare for the test here:

If you want to prepare further for the test, I created a software simulation that replicates exactly the chatbot and one-way video interview present after it.
It includes the following and more:
You can get access right away to the software simulation and guide at the link below:

3) Is the online assessment a decider if I go through the next round or is it a holistic approach with my resume and CL?
Unless they already confirmed you passed the resume stage, they should assess the test with the rest of the application material and, if present, any other interview scheduled together with the test.
Good luck!

Hi there!
If you have little time, there are commercially available simulations of the game.
However, if you feel like you genuinely do not have time to prepare, you can ask them for a postponement. You can explain that you have other personal and professional commitments that do not give you the time to prepare and do the test in the timeline they suggested.
Lastly, yes, the test is judged together with the CV and CL (and potentially referral), but it does bear a lot of weight. In that sense, even if you have a great CV, but you do badly in the test, it could take you out of the process.
Hope it goes smoothly!

Short answer: Yes!
Some options:
2) Use Francesco (or other coaches) guides
3) Use online simulations
You can absolutley get ready in 2 days, but you need to get prepping (and simulating) now :)
It is a hollistic review with your resume/CL/referral/profile
They take the test together with the other application elements.
While 2 days is enough to prepare (using some of the accelerators described below), asking for a postponement may be a good option if your CV is not rock-solid.
