Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know about the Pymetrics test:
Invitation Timing: The invitation to the Pymetrics tests should be sent to you after submitting your application.
Purpose: Pymetrics applies AI to predict job performance based on complex neuroscience data. It uses unbiased algorithms to build a cognitive and emotional trait profile of a company's top performers to source and screen potential talent.
Test Approach: The tests should be treated the same as any other psychometric test. Focus on both speed and accuracy when completing the tests.
Results: While there are no right or wrong results, there are favorable profiles. The closer you score to their ideal candidate, the better.

That exam was awful. Really damn tricky with intense time pressure for the math, and the behavioral stuff was so dumb. It asked you to rank the same things in 100 different combinations.
for anyone interviewing tomorrow: have people received the online case link yet? they said it was supposed to go out today but i haven't received anything
Got one math question wrong (realized immediately after submitting it fml) and don’t think I did well on the final recommendation. Did pretty well on everything else

Don’t be upset over it. BCG’s recruiting is by far the most annoying of the 3

Does anyone know how long the case will be? Heard BCG full-time R1s are usually more behavioural heavy but this might be outdated news.
wouldn’t be shocked if that’s the case, seeing as there’s also the chatbot to do so casing is already kinda assessed
True, if I'm not mistaken the summer associate R1 doesn't even have a case. Curious to see how short a case could possibly be lol
Should be roughly 20 min behavioral then 20 min case with 5 minutes to ask questions for the live interview. Then the online case as well
anyone heard back from Chicago?
Yeah
Got rejected from chicago
received an invite for southeast!
Anyone get nyc
my friend j got it
Anyone knew how waitlist work? Got a email saying I’m waitlisted bc there are not enough interview slots💀
Does anyone know what the general cutoffs are on each interview round (how much do they cull)?
got the SF invite yesterday - does anyone have any resources to prepare for casey?
What day are people's first-round interviews this week?
tomorrow (28th)
for anyone interviewing tomorrow: have people received the online case link yet? they said it was supposed to go out today but i haven't received anything
Doesn’t seem like I received the email. Anyone else?
i found it in my spam folder lol
Does anyone know if you get a call or an email after the first round?
I believe call if you make it email if you don’t. And should be as early as same day if not next couple days
Anyone knows how much impact the online case will have? Thought it was lowkey difficult...
less than the real case but nonzero, it’s hard to say exactly and i’ve heard lots of varying takes on this. i do agree it was pretty tricky tho imo
last year i was told i did terrible on the online case but was still passed, i don’t think it means that much if you had a good other interview
Anyone know when we hear back after R1?
Should be in two days (Friday) I believe. Final rounds are happening a week after that (Sept. 6)
So there isn't a second round? It just goes straight from first round to final round?
how do you know final rounds are the 6th?
Are you sure about final rounds? some people were scheduled for the 4th for R1 so that’s seems like a very very quick turnaround
following in case anyone hears back.
How did you all do on the casebot? Wondering how much that is weighted compared to the live case
Got one math question wrong (realized immediately after submitting it fml) and don’t think I did well on the final recommendation. Did pretty well on everything else
Anyone heard back after R1?
