Could you provide some insights on what to expect from the Strategy& On Demand Test? Specifically, I'd appreciate understanding the overall difficulty level of the exam compared to other standardized tests like the GMAT. Is it considered an easier or more challenging exam? What types of questions are featured, and which areas tend to be heavily weighted? Any advice on how best to prepare and what to focus on would be extremely helpful as I get ready for this important assessment."

This question covers seeking guidance on:

  1. The difficulty level of the On Demand Test compared to other exams like the GMAT.
  2. The types of questions (quant, verbal, integrated reasoning, etc.) and which areas are more heavily weighted.
  3. Recommended preparation strategies and areas to focus on for success.
  4. Any other relevant tips from mentors with experience taking or preparing for the On Demand Test.

Haven't seen examples of the test yet. 

So if I were you I would reach out to the recruiter to ask for more details on the structure of the test and explicitly request test samples. They often share those. The more info you can collect at this point, the more tailored you can be with your prep. 

Aside from this, your best bet is to do GMAT type exercises and business-case-based tests like McKinsey's PST (the test they had before the game) - happy to share a few examples of those.

Best,
Cristian

Could you confirm which test you're referring to? Which company?
