LEK new digital assessment [central test - Empowering Talent]

Hi All,

Has somebody experienced the new lek consulting digital assessment provided by Central App?

[this is the company providing the test http://www.centraltest.com/]

Apparently, it is a 20 questions timed test but there are no instructions available without starting the test itself.

It is unclear what is being tested (numerical? personality? cognitive?).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Andrea

Hi Andrea!

All of these tests are very similar

Format? Somewhat. Content and what's required from you ability-wise? Not at all.

The best way is to really find online tests / questions and practice. Regardless as to whether is a new or old test, the principles are mostly the same:

  • Time management (need to think quick)
  • Business knowledge/context (incl key formulas)
  • Critical thinking (answers that are very similar to each other...clues "hidden" in the text)
  • Ability to interpret data/charts

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.

The (old) McKinsey PST, BCG Online Test, Bain SOVA test, etc. are all quite similar so leverage resources across all of them.
