BCG Casey Chatbot preparation

Hi there,

1) Is it possible to prepare two days before the case?

If you use a guide/course with a few simulations, it should take 6-10 hours to have a solid preparation. Depending on how much time you have available, two days could be enough. 

2) If so, what material would help me prepare in this short amount of time? 

You can find 10 key tips to prepare for the test here:

▶ 10 Must-Know Tips to Master the BCG Online Case

If you want to prepare further for the test, I created a software simulation that replicates exactly the chatbot and one-way video interview present after it.

It includes the following and more:

• 4 Casey Software Simulations of the Chatbot. These are live chatbots simulating exactly the same chatbot environment of the test (meaning you will receive questions from an actual chatbot with a flow equivalent to the one of the test).
• 4 One-Way Video Interviews. These come with AI reports, so that you can see how the software will perceive your performance in terms of voice, speech clarity, energy and more.
• 2 PDF Simulations of the Chatbot. These are additional tests Casey-style, meaning you will have 6 different Casey Chatbots to train with overall.
• Free access to 6 PSTs and Potential Tests for further practice.
• Deep explanation of all the 5 types of questions asked in the BCG Online Case thanks to the complimentary 144-page guide.

3) Is the online assessment a decider if I go through the next round or is it a holistic approach with my resume and CL? 

Unless they already confirmed you passed the resume stage, they should assess the test with the rest of the application material and, if present, any other interview scheduled together with the test.

Good luck!

Hi there!

If you have little time, there are commercially available simulations of the game.

However, if you feel like you genuinely do not have time to prepare, you can ask them for a postponement. You can explain that you have other personal and professional commitments that do not give you the time to prepare and do the test in the timeline they suggested. 

Lastly, yes, the test is judged together with the CV and CL (and potentially referral), but it does bear a lot of weight. In that sense, even if you have a great CV, but you do badly in the test, it could take you out of the process. 

Hope it goes smoothly!

Short answer: Yes!

Some options:

1. Message me: I have 5 of the past real tests

2) Use Francesco (or other coaches) guides

3) Use online simulations

You can absolutley get ready in 2 days, but you need to get prepping (and simulating) now :)

It is a hollistic review with your resume/CL/referral/profile

They take the test together with the other application elements.

While 2 days is enough to prepare (using some of the accelerators described below), asking for a postponement may be a good option if your CV is not rock-solid.
