M requires it for all BAs now (even summers)

Haha all good, thanks for the reply :)

All of them used it. I had online tests for BCG and McKinsey. Didn't go for Bain so can't say.

I had it for KPMG in Europe

Did you prep? How'd it go

PwC had it for Canada

Had not heard of these test until last week and now people are posting about them all the time lol. They sound awful
