MATH 123

We have designed our tests to resemble the official BCG Potential Test as closely as possible. The
layout of this test follows exactly the one offered by BCG in most of its offices. Here are a few tips to use
this test as efficiently as possible:
Do not print out the test.
Remember, the BCG Potential Test is an online test. When you will be sitting the test in the BCG offices,
you will have to do the test on a computer screen and will not be allowed to print it. You should therefore
get used to reading the questions and documents on a computer screen and working through your
answers on scrap paper. If you print out the test and take notes directly on it, you will not experience the
real test conditions.
Do the whole test under real time conditions: you have 45 minutes to complete it.
At the end of the 45 minutes, put your pen down, even if no one is there to ask you to. The reason this is
important is that you need to track your progress across different sample tests. If you do not stick to the
allocated time, you will have no way of knowing for sure whether you are progressing or not.
Check your answer sheet against the answer key.
Grade each of the questions: +3 points for correct answers, -1 point for incorrect answers, 0 points for
questions not answered and then calculate your total score. Your objective is to improve your score
compared to the last sample test you tried. In fact, it is likely that your score in the first test you solve will
be fairly low (around 30 points). This is completely normal, as you are still learning about the format of
the test, and how to use your answering method within the time allocated. If you stick to the method, and
review your answers carefully, you should see a quick improvement in your score.
