BCG online test
Hi, for those of you who have done the BCG online test how did you prepare for it? Is it very different from the Mck or Bain online tests?
Thanks

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
How many batches did your test have? So If you don't get one answer you need to skip the whole batch?
When did you do this test? Would you say is GMAT style?
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
Thanks, why did you choose Victor cheng vs case in point for example?
I was refering to test preparation, not cases. In Victor's website there's a mathematical test that allows you to improve operations speed.
In relation to cases, I made up my own frameworks out from Cosentino's "Case in Point" and Cheng's frameworks
Ok, do you find those frameworks still useful in your real job cases? Do you work a lot with excel/ppt?
