Could someone please confim whether any of the tests used for London recruitment (SOVA for Bain, BCG Math test etc) are likely to include geometry and/or trig? GMAT does include these questions so it would be helpful to know whether to prepare for it
Thank you!
My understanding is you should not have to worry about geometry and trig. Much more important are equations/math that have to do with key business terms incl breakeven, margins, ROI, NPV, etc. etc.
In general, the best way to prepare is to find online tests / questions and practice. Regardless as to whether is a new or old test, the principles are mostly the same:
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.

Hi there!
As I know, they usually don`t. But I would recommend you to check some Online Tests to see the structure.
