Bain Capital: The Predictive Index® Cognitive Assessment

Hi Everyone,

I just completed The Predictive Index® Cognitive Assessment for Bain Capital's application process. It's a 50-question test where you have only 12 minutes to answer logic-based questions.

I made it through about 30 questions with what I thought were the right answers, and then the final minute hit and I figured I was better off guessing my way through the rest due to a higher probability of getting four or five right instead of just completing two questions.

Google said a high score was 29, but I thought since this is a prestigious firm, a good score would be higher than that. Does anyone have any information or advice on how to do well on these?
