There is no dependable universal chart of which consulting assessment every firm uses in a given year.

Assessments can differ by office, role, recruiting path and testing vendor, and formats change. McKinsey Solve and BCG's online screening tools are examples, not proof that every applicant receives the same test.

A classmate applying to another country or office may receive a different invitation despite targeting the same firm. Old preparation advice may also refer to a retired format.

Use the assessment named in your invitation as the source of truth, because formats can change by office and role. For the tests you actually receive, compare the McKinsey Solve guide with the BCG Casey guide rather than memorizing an outdated firm-to-test list.

My McKinsey invitation named a specific game, so I checked that invite rather than relying on what my classmates had taken last year.

Some people in our programme applied to different offices and got different assessment instructions. Comparing firms without the office details seems risky.

Does anyone know whether a recruiter can confirm the platform before the invitation comes through?

For BCG, I'd check whether the role is using Casey or another screening assessment. "BCG test" is too broad to plan around.

I made a tiny tracker: firm, office, role, invite wording, deadline. Much easier than trying to remember screenshots from group chats.
