Good to know
- Bain puts the whole test at about 30 to 40 minutes. Reports suggest the sections aren't hard-timed, but pace is scored.
- The real test has a personality questionnaire too. It has no right answers, so it isn't simulated here. Answer it honestly and consistently.
- Formats vary. Some offices use TestGorilla instead of SOVA, and Bain's email after you apply says which.
PartnerRound is independent. This practice test is not affiliated with or endorsed by Bain & Company or SOVA, and every question in it is original.
