BCG online test Computer Based

Hi there,

I totally understand why you'd like to know this. However, honestly, this is not a game worth playing! Just do your best - if you get most answers right, you should be good.

Now, in terms of preparation:

I have a simulation of the test. Feel free to message me and I can take you through it!

The best way is to really find online tests / questions and practice. Regardless as to whether is a new or old test, the principles are mostly the same:

• Time management (need to think quick)
• Business knowledge/context (incl key formulas)
• Critical thinking (answers that are very similar to each other...clues "hidden" in the text)
• Ability to interpret data/charts

Think of it as a merge of a case and the GMAT/GRE.

You need to be clear on some key case-related and account formulas (margin, growth, breakeven, etc) as well as be good at critically understanding the question (including nuance to questions) and parsing through complicated text with a fair amount of distraction.

You'll also need to be good at chart/graph reading.

The (old) McKinsey PST, BCG Online Test, Bain SOVA test, etc. are all quite similar so leverage resources across all of them (feel free to message if you'd like any of these!)

Hey there,

There was never an official cut-off score that has been communicated, however, rumor has it that it was around 70%, with roughly 30% of candidates making the cut.

It was not an exact science since in some offices the results were only used in combination with the case and the fit interviews.

With the introduction of the Chatbot Case, the old preparation materials are still useful since they contain the same question types, evaluate the same skills, etc.

Cheers,
