Hello,
Where can I please find more interactive BCG-type online cases? I believe BCG's website currently has 2 examples but please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thank you

Hello!
Most of the online tests are very similar, and test the same skillset. It´s a good thing, since you can prep for them with a very unified approach.
I would strongly recomment you practice it with the Integrated Reasoning part of the GMAT exam.
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/)
Furthermore, you can leverage the MBB tests (https://www.myconsultingoffer.org/case-study-interview-prep/bcg-online/, https://www.psychometricinstitute.co.uk/Free-Aptitude-Tests.asp, and many others)
Hope it helps!

Hello!
The online test is similar to the interactive cases you have found on their website (yes, there are 2 of them). PrepLounge's resourses are a great help too.
Apart from that, it'a good idea practicing mental math, quick reading, interpreting the graphs.
In the GMAT tests you may find the similarities of skills tested, like Clara recommended.
Do you need any help with that?

Hi there,
Lucky for you the (old) McKinsey PST, BCG Online Test, Bain SOVA test, etc. are all quite similar so you really can leverage the practice tests for all of them in order to prepare:
