Hi Guys,

This morning I took the BCG's Gmat-like test online. I don't know how to describe it, but in simple words it was a bit disastrous. I quickly became nervous and my brain just stopped working, I started panicking. I managed spending around 5 minutes for a very easy math question which I solve in normal circumstance in about 30 secs. Honestly, it was slightly harder than the sample test which I found in BCG's website. I felt like I was confident about probably 40% of the question. 20% not sure and about 40% was randomly ticked as I was running out of time. Is there anyone who passed this round despite having same feelings about the performance?

Hello!

I totally share your pain! I haven´t done this test in praticular since it´s rather new, but I have done GMAT and... similar feelings to what you got!

The good thing is that it really improves with practicing, and there are plenty online resources in the internet.

Cheers,

Clara

Hi there,

I'm really sorry to hear this! Unfortunately sometimes we just have off days.

To be honest, I have seen plenty of people do better than this and not move onto the next round. I've never seen someone do worse and get through (when the test is fully implemented, not in the pilot phase).

Of course, we truly never know until the results come through, so, I would still continue your prep. (You may have guessed well, or the test is currently in pilot mode for your office, or your other candidate metrics can overcome this test)
