Hi Ali,
Q: Does anyone have valuable resources to help me prepare?
I provided some information below on the assessment.

The BCG Online Case (also called Casey Chatbot Interview) is an 8-10 questions test BCG now used globally. It is structured in 2 parts:
- 8-10 questions to be taken in 25-30 minutes
- 1 video interview question at the end, where you usually have to provide a recommendation in 1 minute

You can find 10 key tips to prepare for the test here:

If you want to prepare further for the Online Case, I created a software simulation replicating specifically the chatbot and one-way video interview.
It includes the following and more:
- 4 Casey Software Simulations of the Chatbot. These are live chatbots simulating exactly the same chatbot environment of the test (meaning you will receive questions from an actual chatbot with a flow equivalent to the one of the test).
- 4 One-Way Video Interviews. These come with Artificial Intelligence reports, so that you can see how the software will perceive your performance in terms of voice, speech clarity, energy and more.
- 2 PDF Simulations of the Chatbot. These are additional tests Casey-style, meaning you will have 6 different Casey Chatbots to train with overall.
- Free access to 6 PSTs and Potential Tests for further practice.
- Deep explanation of all the 5 types of questions asked in the BCG Online Case thanks to the complimentary 144-page guide.
You can get access to the software simulation and guide instantly at the link below:

For any questions on the test please feel free to PM me, I will reply within 12 hours.

Francesco

Hi Ali!
This is the Casey test you were mentioning in your previous question.
It's basically a web-based simulation of a case interview. As long as you've been practicing for the actual case interview, you're going to find this very similar (it's testing for the same skills).
Sharing with you a couple of cases you might find useful to practice in the meantime that are based on recent MBB interviews:

Hi Ali,
I have 3 past tests that were recorded live. Included in this is PDFs with complete answers for all of those tests.
This also comes with a video course I have created that talks you through how to pass the test as well as an extensive set of additional practice materials/resources/tests.
Feel free to message as I provide this to all my candidates and/or as a seperate purchase.

Hi Ali,
Looks like you have a bunch of great resources suggested here already - but just to add my two cents, the BCG online case test is essentially a virtual case interview. So similar prep as you would do for a regular case interview is going to be helpful here.
