BCG Casey is the chatbot-led online case BCG uses in many offices to screen applicants before live interviews. Instead of talking a case through with a consultant, you work through a business problem with a chatbot that asks for calculations, chart reading, choices between options and short written answers, each on its own clock.
This hub gathers our Casey articles. The BCG online case guide is the place to start. The shorter articles take one question type or one decision at a time. Formats differ between offices and change over time, so every article shows when its facts were last checked.
Candidates describe a mix of exhibit reading, arithmetic under time pressure, picking the right data to answer a question, and a short recommendation at the end. Our format breakdown walks through each question type in the order it usually appears.
Casey is the chatbot version of what candidates call the BCG Online Case. The CCA is something else: BCG's Consulting Career Assessment, a 30- to 35-minute SHL assessment of behavioral traits and reasoning that some applicants take before or instead of the case. Our Casey vs CCA comparison sets out which one you face and how to prepare for each.
Most points are lost to time rather than to hard ideas. Build speed on consulting math and chart reading first, then practice full cases with a timer so that the no-going-back rule stops being a surprise.
How BCG's Casey chatbot case works end to end: dataset selection, question types, the 60-second video, scoring, pass rates and a 2-week prep plan.
How the BCG Casey chatbot case works screen by screen: the six question types, timing, the no-going-back rule, the video ending and mistakes to avoid.
BCG Casey is a chatbot case; the CCA is an SHL assessment of behavioral traits and reasoning. Format, timing, who gets which, and how to prepare.
