I want to receive updates regarding this question via email.

BCG Pyametrics Test

Is it better to take the BCG paymetrics test on the phone or computer? I heard that there is a test with the spacebar…how does that adapt to the phone's UI?

Any other general tips for the test?

Thanks in advance!

I can't think of anything in this world that is done faster or more efficiently on a phone than laptop….and certainly not an online test!

Hi there,

This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for quite a lot of users, so I am happy to provide my perspective on it:

  • I would advise you to definitely go with the laptop - the bigger screen alone is such a big advantage (not talking controls).
  • Moreover, the browser that is compatible with most applications is Chrome thus I would advise you to use Chrome for your upcoming BCG test.

In case you want a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare the content side of your upcoming BCG test, please feel free to contact me directly.

I hope this helps,

Hagen

Hey there,

Definitely go with the laptop. 

Keep your phone ready as a backup hotspot in case the internet cuts out.

Cheers,

Florian

These tests are generally made keeping laptops in mind. Mobile devices are still not the mainstream device for testing compatibility.

Hi there,

I agree with the other coaches, I can’t see any good reasons for using a phone for a consulting test. Plus there is always a risk of lack of compatibility. I would go for the laptop.

Best,

Francesco

Hi!

I'd recommend using a laptop. 

Are you applying for The Future Makers or for a consulting job?

Best,

Anto
