I received a BCG assessment invitation with limited information about the exact question types. I do not want to prepare for the wrong format. What should I prioritize when the invitation itself is not very specific?

I sometimes finish practice sections with a few minutes left. My instinct is to review every answer, but I also have a habit of changing correct answers when I overthink. If the real assessment lets you review, what is the best use of extra time?
Mayank G.CoachUse extra time to review flagged or uncertain questions first rather than automatically rechecking every answer.
One CCA practice question had a chart with a lot of numbers, but only a few seemed relevant to the question. I kept thinking I must be missing something because so much data was there. Are you expected to ignore information that does not matter, or should every part of the exhibit be used?
Mayank G.CoachYes. Filtering for relevant information is part of good case analysis. You do not need to use every number simply because it appears in the exhibit.
A friend applied to the same office and role and got a different BCG assessment. I got CCA, so now I'm wondering if that means anything about how we were screened. Can BCG use different assessments for candidates in the same recruiting cycle?
Mayank G.CoachBCG assessment sequences can vary by office, program, and recruiting process. Candidates in apparently similar situations may receive different screening steps.
