Hi there,

All of these online tests are very similar

Format? Slightly different. Content and what's required from you ability-wise? Essentially the same.

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.

Hi there, 

There are a few examples that you can find online if you google for them. 

Basically, you can expect:

• GMAT questions
• chart/data interpretation
• business judgement - you're given a business context and provided with several options to choose from

Some offices also use inductive reasoning, but this is becoming less popular. 

Best,

Cristian

Hi there,

In a nutshell, it's a mix of the Bain SOVA and some business math questions.

I have a free guide available for the former in case you are interested.

Cheers,

Florian
