In my case were 21 questions and if I remenber right was 40 minutes. The main problem is that questions are related in "batches", to solve a question in a batch you have to get the previous question's answer.

It is not that difficult but the alloted time is a really harsh constraint. I prepared making PSTs from the McKinsey website and with Victor Chengs Math test for math speed. The main difference with the PST (have not done the Bain test) is that almost all questions in the BCG test are numerical, pretty much 80%, so you should be quick with numbers

 

Sorry, I didn´t explain myself properly.

I did the test 8 months ago, the format has not changed since then.

Test is pretty much as follows, you're given 3 business cases, each one has around 6 or 7 questions and each question is related with the previous one, so in order to solve it properly you have to have a decent amount of confidence in the answer you gave to the previous question. You can for sure skip questions. The type of test is similar to McKinsey's PST but more heavily quant focused and has nothing to do with the GMAT.

Hope that helped
