BCG TDA Practice

I received the invitation for BCG's online Reasoning test for TDA practice. The example test only shows GMAT like quantitative questions. Should I expect anything else, such as Casey or Pymetrics in this test.

Hi there,

Sounds like the cognitive test to me, which they newly introduced this year. If that's the case, it comes with 80 questions in 30 minutes, mainly focused on calculations and quant. reasoning.

Cheers,

Florian

Hey!

For the BCG TDA practice online Reasoning test, you can expect primarily quantitative and logical reasoning questions, similar to GMAT-style questions.

 Based on the example test you’ve seen, it's likely that the main focus will be on problem-solving skills, numerical reasoning, and analytical thinking. It’s not typical for case questions or Pymetrics-style personality assessments to be included in this test. However, as part of the overall selection process, you might encounter additional rounds later, such as case interviews or behavioral assessments (like Pymetrics), but these would likely happen after the reasoning test. It's a good idea to focus on practicing quantitative and logical reasoning for this specific test.

Good luck! Alessa :)

The BCG TDA online reasoning test typically focuses on quantitative and logical reasoning, similar to GMAT-style questions. It’s unlikely to include case-solving skills like structuring or synthesis. Prepare for numerical calculations, problem-solving, and logical reasoning within a timed format.

Best of luck!
