Undergrad Recruiting: Is the McKinsey PST/BCG Potential Test Used?

Hi all,

I'm currently an undergrad senior preparing for full time recruiting, and learned from last year's McKinsey and BCG hires that they did not take the McKinsey PST/BCG Potential Test during their interviews.

Because I'd rather not waste time preparing for something that will not be in the interview, can anyone validate if the tests have been scrapped, if the tests appear for some schools/office locations, etc.?

Thanks in advance
