I‘ve read it only applies to experienced hires, and currently is given only in the London office.
Does it apply to entry level/other offices?
Any info on other offices in Europe and the US?
When is the BCG quant test given?

Hi,
It is sometimes given in Asia as well - but not consistently.

Hi there,
I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:
- The BCG quant test is given to experienced hires, but it varies across regions, countries, and offices as to who receives it.
- Unfortunately, there's no standard approach to the test and it is not necessarily given to entry-level hires or in offices other than the London office at the moment.
If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
Best,
Hagen

Hi there,
This is an ever moving target. Things change.
Quite simply, you'll know if you get it. If you get it, be ready for it!
Preparing for case interviews and case chatbot prepare you well for the quant test.

Hi there,
There's no consistent approach between offices as to who receives it. Basically some offices tend to use it as a means to add another filter in the pipeline of applications.
Best,
Cristian

Hi there,
From client experience, I know that the quant test is also given for entry-level hires in the London office!
Generally, BCG assessments are a bit of a mixed bag and from the outside its not always clear who gets what test and why.
Cheers,
Florian
