made it till the 49th question before I ran short of time. most others i know were also short of time.
Do yk if there are any specific sat cutoffs? (1400+ or 32+)
Do you think you were mostly accurate?
Not sure abou the SAT/ACT cutoffs, but those sound realistic. I'd say i was mostly accurate aside from 1 question i rushed through at the end.
Based on previous WSO threads, the predictive index (PI) test for Bain Capital and similar firms often includes quick arithmetic, pattern recognition, and logic-based questions. It's designed to assess cognitive ability under time pressure. Reaching question 43 out of 50 in a 12-minute timer is a solid attempt, as many candidates report not finishing all the questions due to the time constraint.
If you're preparing for similar assessments, focus on improving speed and accuracy in mental math, pattern recognition, and logical reasoning. Practice with online PI test simulators or similar cognitive ability tests to get comfortable with the format and pacing.

Anyone hear anything about SA interviews?
Not yet
Someone at my school got a first round for NAPE, but wondering if the process is rolling or if all first rounds have been sent. My school had a couple of people attend the Investors of Tomorrow program as well, and none of them got it.
no clue, i have a referral from a Partner and still radio silent. you a top target?
Heard someone get an interview but idk if it’s for NAPE or something else
We might be cooked then lol
Have heard from lots of Investors of Tomorrow, and none have gotten first rounds. Is the interview process rolling?
Probably but idt they’ve started. Maybe nepo first or super strong referrals.
Again does anyone know if they filter on predictive index like crazy?
don't think so, as the person i know that got the first round for NAPE said he only got through about 40 and not all of them were right
Some from Investors of Tomorrow have gotten first rounds.
think its school dependent
Probably
Any updates?
