Best resources for BCG potential test and Casey?

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation by BCG!

I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

• I'm sorry to hear that you have had difficulty with online tests in the past. It can be challenging to prepare for these tests, as they are often designed to be difficult and to test a wide range of skills and abilities. However, there are a few things you can do to improve your chances of success:
  • Familiarize yourself with the types of questions and formats that are commonly used in aptitude tests. You can find practice tests and sample questions online, or you can purchase test preparation materials.
  • Practice as much as possible. The more you practice, the more comfortable you will become with the types of questions and formats used in aptitude tests. This can help improve your speed and accuracy, and reduce your stress levels on test day.
  • Make sure you are well-rested and well-nourished on test day. A clear mind and a healthy body can help you perform your best.
  • Consider seeking out additional resources, such as test-taking strategies and tips, to help you prepare.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare the BCG Casey with additional material, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Hi there,

Q: Best resources for BCG potential test and Casey?

The BCG Online Case (also called Casey Chatbot Interview) is an 8-10 questions test BCG started to use in the last years and now used globally. It is structured in 2 parts:

• 8-10 questions to be taken in 25-30 minutes.
• 1 video interview question at the end, where you usually have to provide a recommendation in 1 minute.

The main challenges based on the candidates I helped are the following:

1. Time. The questions are not particularly difficult, however you will feel time constraints also due to the fact you don’t know how difficult the next questions could be - thus how much time they may require.
2. Chatbot interaction. Unlike a test like the McK PST, you cannot proceed “at your own pace”. You will have to follow the order provided by the chatbot as questions are provided one by one. You also cannot change a previous answer once provided.
3. Math. Candidates often find the math quite challenging given the time constraint.

If you want to prepare for the Online Case in the best possible way, I created a software simulation replicating specifically the chatbot and one-way video interview.

It includes the following and more:

• 4 Software Simulations of the Chatbot. These are live chatbots simulating exactly the same chatbot environment of the test (meaning you will receive questions from an actual chatbot with a flow equivalent to the one of the test).
• 4 One-Way Video Interviews. These come with Artificial Intelligence reports, so that you can see how the software will perceive your performance in terms of voice, speech clarity, energy and more.
• 2 PDF Simulations of the Chabot. These are additional tests Casey-style, meaning you will have 6 different Casey Chatbots to train with overall.
• Free access to 6 PSTs and Potential Tests for further practice.
• Deep explanation of all the 5 types of questions asked in the BCG Online Case thanks to the complimentary 144-page guide.

You can get access to the software simulation and guide instantly here:
