Bain & Company Anyone anxiously waiting for Bain & Company sova test results due tomorrow? Do they communicate results to whole batches at once and relatedly, do they measure performance in relation to specific batches of candidates ? (was told after submitting on 26 Nov to await results on 8 Dec). Just curious to understand if there is general baseline score to meet, or if that baseline is relative to the average performance of a particular pool of candidates.
