When Fless started back in 2016, Victor interviewed over 100 management consulting candidates on their pain points.
Their major complaint was PROBLEMS-SOLVING ASSESSMENTS: sets of quant and verbal exercises most companies use to weed out weak applicants ahead of in-person case interviews.
Problem-solving assessments
are everywhere
are everywhere
Fast forward to 2020, or 60+ study groups later:
Our alumni have successfully passed assessments (and got job offers) from dozens of companies including:
Assessments challenge you
on must-have skills of business analysts
on must-have skills of business analysts
Sometimes these assessments take the form of a computer game (e.g. McKinsey), other times they are a GMAT-like test (e.g. BCG) or a written case (e.g. Bain).
Whatever the form, their common feature is evaluation of certain skills and abilities ESSENTIAL FOR CONSULTANTS AND BUSINESS ANALYSTS.
If you do not have these skills and abilities, you are out of the game.
Whatever the form, their common feature is evaluation of certain skills and abilities ESSENTIAL FOR CONSULTANTS AND BUSINESS ANALYSTS.
If you do not have these skills and abilities, you are out of the game.
These skills include:
- Reading comprehensionProcessing information in the form of written texts, charts, exhibits, tables, and graphics, understanding its meaning, and integrating with previous knowledge
- Critical thinkingDefining problems, identifying necessary information, applying math, logic, and analytical tools to solve problems, and synthesizing results
- Decision-makingIdentifying a decision, assessing alternative resolutions based on critical thinking, and establishing the preferred alternative under various constraints
- MetacognitionPlanning how to approach a task, choosing appropriate skills and strategies to solve a problem, monitoring one's own comprehension of text, and evaluating progress toward the completion of a task
- Situational awarenessPerceiving and comprehending the current situation of a system and projecting its future status
- Systems thinkingUnderstanding how things influence one another within a whole
Can you develop these skills?
Yes, but..
Yes, but..
McKinsey claims you cannot prepare for its digital assessment.
The experience of our alumni proves otherwise.
Plus, if this claim were true, you would not be able to grow in a consulting job either: it's too unpredictable and diverse! Yet the famous consulting learning curve does exist and attracts candidates for a good reason.
What is true about digital assessments though is that
you CANNOT PREPARE OVERNIGHT.
There's no point in trying to cheat and learn the correct answers by heart (they do not exist) or have someone teach you a simple bullet-proof 3-step technique (it does not exist either).
You have to actually develop the skill set of reading comprehension, critical thinking, decision-making, metacognition, situational awareness, and systems thinking.
The process of skill development takes SEVERAL MONTHS' worth of EFFORT and EXTENSIVE PRACTICE.
Plus INTELLIGENT GUIDANCE, of course, unless you want to spend years instead of months.
The good news is that people with ALL KINDS OF BACKGROUNDS can develop the necessary skills. Among our alumni who successfully passed the assessments we have economics, mathematicians, software engineers, journalists, lawyers, public sector workers, and soon (hopefully) even national security agents.
The bad news is that EVERYONE HAS TO INVEST THEIR TIME. Depending on the background, some people need more time, some need less. But hardly anyone can ignore skill development altogether.

Is your consulting career worth the investment?
How much time will you have to work to make up for $306?
Just 2 days!
Let's do the math.
INCOME:
Average MBB consultant starting income (after taxes) is $40K per year
- Based on student reports and personal experience
- Supported by Glassdoor data, after tax adjustments
WORK DAYS
Junior consultants typically work ~3,230 hours per year
- Average number of work days in a year: 52 weeks * 5 days per week - vacation & public holidays (15 work days) = 245.
- Consultant's work days adjustment: roughly + half a day per week, meaning +10% per year.
- Average consultant's work day: 12 hours.
- Average consultant's work hours in a year 245 * 1.1. * 12 = 3,234.
HOURLY RATE
Resulting hourly income (after taxes) is $40K / 3,230 hours ~ $12.5 per hour.
PAYBACK PERIOD
Hence the investment will pay back in 306 / 12.5 ~ 24 hours ~ 2 work days.
THE REST OF YOUR CONSULTING CAREER IS YOUR NET GAIN.
Maximizing it is up to you.
