How important is the BCG pymetric test for full-time studens from target schools? I attend Kellog.

I have heard that this is the first time students in my MBA program are being asked to take this test. None of the interns nor full-timers had to take this test before on campus.

Hi there,

The test is taken seriously and it is an important step in the screening process. You cannot "fail" it an continue in the interview process. Just like you cannot "fail" HR screening etc.

That also being said, you can "mess up" certain sections and still pass...it's a holistic review.

There's a good recent Q&A on this here:

Hi,

It's important. However, I recommend asking your classmates (ex MBB) to refer you to an on-campus recruiter. That's the best way to guarantee an on-campus interview.

Best!
