Practice for the BCG Consulting Career Assessment (CCA)

The CCA is BCG's newer pre-screen, delivered by SHL. You first rank statements by how well they describe you, then answer eight math and logic questions in twelve minutes. The personality half has no right answers; the math half is about pace. CaseTutor simulates both halves on the same clocks.

The format

Consulting Career Assessment

Time:
32 minutes
Format:
Personality (20 min), then math and logic (12 min)
Tools:
Calculator and scratchpad

Rank sets of four statements from most to least like you and say how colleagues see you. Then answer eight math and logic questions with a calculator before the second clock runs out.

How your attempt is graded

  • The personality section produces a trait profile compared with CaseTutor's own consulting benchmark. It is a profile, not a pass or fail.
  • The math section is scored automatically, and the report shows your time on each question.

Tips for the real thing

  • Answer the personality section consistently and honestly. Trying to guess the 'right' profile tends to produce contradictions.
  • In the math section, eight questions in twelve minutes is 90 seconds each. Skip and return rather than stall.

Frequently asked questions

What is the BCG CCA?

The Consulting Career Assessment is a pre-screen BCG uses in some regions. It combines a ranked personality questionnaire with a short, timed math and logic section.

Can you prepare for a personality test?

You can't learn right answers, because there are none, but you can get used to the ranked format so you answer consistently and on time. CaseTutor shows you how your profile compares with a typical consulting profile.

Is the CaseTutor benchmark BCG's?

No. CaseTutor's consulting benchmark is our own and is clearly labelled as such. BCG's scoring is not public.

Is the practice test free?

Your first full attempt at each module is free with a CaseTutor account, including the full report. Further attempts are part of a CaseTutor membership.
