Hey Guys,
I was wondering if the BCC Potential Test or the BCG Online Case is more current. I thought that the Potential Test is the old version of the Online Case.

Hi Aicha,
Q: I was wondering if the BCC Potential Test or the BCG Online Case is more current. I thought that the Potential Test is the old version of the Online Case.
BCG is currently using the BCG Online Case (Casey Chatbot version) in almost all countries. The source of the confusion is that in the past the called “Online Case” also the Potential Test in some countries.
I reported some info below on the test.

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:

Hi there,
Casey chatbot test is the predominant online format being used now BCG-wide, with some country-specific exceptions .

Hey Aicha,
BCG's Casey Chatbot is what I've seen being used frequently across many geographies.
Focussing on time management, charts/graph/data interpretation and basic business acumen that you develop in case prep are the key skills being tested in this assessment.
All the best!

Hi Aicha,
I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:
If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for any of those pre-interview assessments, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Hi Aicha,
BCG Chatbot is the one that is most current.
Remember, all of these online tests are very similar
Format? Somewhat. Content and what's required from you ability-wise? Not at all.
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:
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.
Hi there,
I get your confusion. In the past, different BCG offices called their recruitment test either online case or potential test.
Currently, BCG is employing two tests across the globe:

Hi there,
Are you referring to some of the products that the coaches are selling?
I would suggest you guide yourself by the reviews to find the best ones. Additionally, there are a bunch of free materials also online that you can use to guide your preparation.
