Hello,

I'm an ADC that applied for full-time this past cycle. Unfortunately did not interviews after completing the games. As I'm planning to reapply this year to the summer ADC programs as well as full-time again if needed, I'm curious how long the results for the PSG/ Pymetrics are good for. Thank you!

Hi there,

They are generally good for a year.

Of course, if you're navigating through a different recruiting channel you may still be required to re-take it.

Hi there,

The results of the McKinsey PSG are usually valid for a year. If you completed the assessment more than one year ago, you will most likely need to take the assessment again.

If you want to prepare, you can find the video simulation I created below:

Good luck!

Hi,

At least for BCG in the system I was in the results applied per application cycle.

All the best!

Sorry not quite sure what your answer means. Are the results from this cycle good for next cycle then?

Hi there!

Usually for a year. 

If you have any doubts, you can contact the recruiter. In some cases they can be lenient and allow you to take the test again if you're re-applying under just a year from the previous failure.

Best,

Cristian
