OC&C Strategy - Online assessment test

Hi there,

I received an invite to do the online assessment test from OC&C.
Has someone done this test recently and could share some examples?

Happy to report back once it's done :-)

Kind regards,

Lucas

Hi Lucas!

The test lasts 45 minutes and follows a format similar to the GMAT. It is divided into three sections that assess both quantitative and verbal reasoning skills. As you progress, the questions become increasingly challenging. 
There are a lot of good and free materials for practice in GMAT online, such as GMAT club and Veritas Prep YouTube.

Good luck!!

Thanks so much for your feedback, much appreciated! I'll certainly take a look at these. Should someone have some examples for the specific OC&C tests, I'd gladly take a look at these as well. Lucas

Hi Lucas,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation from OC&C!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • First of all, and contrary to what other coaches have said, based on the experience of my coachees, OC&C's pre-interview assessment seems to focus purely on quantitative reasoning.
  • Moreover, you may want to take the practice test first to know the specific format of the pre-interview assessment.

You can find more on this topic here: How to succeed in the final interview round.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming OC&C pre-interview assessment and/or interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Thanks Hagen! Where can I find the practice test? I only find a pay-version online but nothing on their website.

Sure, always happy to help! The practice test seems to be included in the OC&C pre-interview assessment itself.

Hi Lucas,

Congratulations on receiving the invite from OC&C.

The test is focussing on your quantitative skills.

Preparing for the OC&C Strategy Online Assessment Test involves a few key steps:

  1. Practice Math Skills: Focus on improving your math skills, data interpretation, and problem-solving abilities.
  2. Time Management: The numerical-based multiple-choice assessment is timed, so practice managing your time effectively. Work on solving questions quickly and accurately.
  3. Business Knowledge: Familiarize yourself with key business formulas such as margin, growth, and breakeven. Understanding these concepts will help you tackle the quantitative questions more effectively.
  4. Chart and Graph Interpretation: Practice reading and interpreting charts and graphs. This skill is crucial for the test and for consulting in general. R

Let me know if you require further information.

Good luck with your preparation.

Mattijs

Hey there, 

Based on my experience with candidates in the OC&C interview process, the online assessment does test predominantly quantitative reasoning and ability. I'd practice and focus on these

All the best!
