Hello everyone,
Does anyone have any advice regarding BCG's online test?
- How is it structured?
- How to best prepare for it?
Apparently it is similar to GMAT and/or the McKinsey problem solving test. Practice materials would be highly appreciated!
Best,
Rob
Hi,
There are 2 types of BCG tests:
I have uploaded both test samples here (Online test is about airlines). I've also added BCG written case sample (Next round) and Bain written case:

Hi Rob,
I agree with Vlad; as additional elements on BCG online tests:
Finally, remember you get penalized for wrong answers and should adapt your approach accordingly.

Hi!
To add on top of previous comments, in a nutshell: very similar to GMAT, use that to prep!

Hello,
In case you have already started your preparation for case interviews and good at reading charts, analytical thinking, and mental math, then BCG potential is an additional of probably an hour as what you should plan for.
Basically, to prepare you can use some mock potential test, and after every test just look into solution to see where you have gone wrong. 3-4 mock test it would be enough for you to prepare for the potential test.
Do you need any further help?
Cheers,
GB
BCG typically shares an example test when the invites go out. If you have not received that, you should check-in with your local recruiting contact.

Hello A!
The BCG online case is very similar to a regular case the only difference being that your direction in the business case is guided by the questions being asked. So it will be similar to an "interviewer-led" case format. There are a lot of resources online for case solving and all you need to do is Google. If you want to sharpen your case skills in general I would recommend Victor Cheng's Case Interview Secrets by Victor Cheng and his book.
However, since the BCG Online Case is also a single-choice test, you can also use this format to your advantage. You’ll receive+3 points for correct answers and -1 for wrong answers. Currently, the inofficial cut-off score is below 70-75%.
Message me if you have any other specific questions and all the best!

André
