Think of it as a merge of a case and the GMAT/GRE.

You need to be clear on some key case-related and account formulas (margin, growth, breakeven, etc) as well as be good at critically understanding the question (including nuance to questions) and parsing through complicated text with a fair amount of distraction.

You'll also need to be good at chart/graph reading.

It's very similar to the (old) McKinsey PST, BCG Online Test, Bain SOVA test, etc. So leverage resources for them as well i.e.:

Hi

You will be assess in two different ways:

1. Numerical reasoning assessment - advanced numerical reasoning appraisal: Quantitative questions that are very likely to involve business context, like using numbers financial tables, revenues and profit margins. Be sure you are familiar with basic business terms and contexts.

2. Critical thinking assessment : Verbal questions to test your ability to quickly and accurately digest different sources of information and infer conclusions and summaries.

Just took an online test. It was 28 question, 20 of those being literally GMAT math and the rest interpreting graphs. Good luck.
