Hi Arty,
I found the test not as hard as the example exercises they sent me before. The challenge was the timing.
In preparation, you can find many examples of BCG for their analytics test online. You can also practice GMAT exercises. However, I don't know if you can really "learn" to read and analyze this kind of quickly (especially in a short preparation time). More important than the analytics test are the real case interviews.
Good luck!
Best regards
Marco-Alexander
Dear Arty!
Below some useful links for your preparation:
1) Keeping your math trained with GMAT exercises is always a good idea. Free resourced can be found online, for example:

2) Also, tests that usually are for investment banks (with graphs analysis) are useful.

Hello!
GMAT is a great way to practice for it
To add on top of what has been said, the best is to practice, practice, practice!
In concrete, with tests, so you can also time yourself, get used to the format, etc.
There are free exams in the internet that you can use for practice (the one of LBS MBA page, Verits prep, as well as some free trials for courses such as the one of The Economist (https://gmat.economist.com/)
The key to success here is not only get practice, but learn techniques.
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Clara
