It's not hard just a ton of memorization. Take the test ASAP afterwards so you can forget all the uselessness

Yup I agree. Took mine 3 months ago and I remember nothing now. Make sure you practice the situational questions though.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
