Hi all,
I'm prearing for the online case test for BCG now. I was wondering what a good score is. I've been told that this is not decisive but it is good to have a target in mind.
There are about 23 questions and 45 minutes.
:)
Whats a good score for BCG online case?

Hello,
The score is just one of the elements to evaluate your profile and take a decision.
Anyway, HRs told me that a very good score would be 80% of correct answers (in this case 19).
Best,
Luca

Hi,
I confirm you should set 80% as the goal for your practice tests.

Hello!
I don´t honestly know the threshold -and I doubt that none that is not in BCG Recruiting can give you a number you can trust-.
However, the application is reviewed "as a whole", considering not only the test but all aspects of it. Hence, even with a non-great test, you can be considered for interview rounds.
Hope it helps! Cheers,
Clara

Hi,
BCG doesn't usually use the online tests as a way of filtering candidates before the interviews (unlike McK), thus an average performance would not be a dealbreaker if you perform well in the interviews. Having said that, you would be considered as a good performer if you get 70% of the questions correct.
Best,
Deniz
