BCG Casey is an interviewer-led online case assessment: an AI chatbot presents 8-10 questions in 25-30 minutes, then asks you to record a mandatory 1-minute video recommendation. It tests the same skills as live cases. Where deployed, BCG uses Casey to screen candidates before interview rounds — coverage and the exact format vary by office and intake year; confirm with your BCG recruiter.

Unlike live cases, you can re-read the prompt. Ensure you understand exactly what's being asked before answering.
Unlike live cases, calculators are allowed. Focus on accuracy over speed for math questions.
Written responses are scored for clarity. Get to the point quickly—don't pad with filler words.
The timer is real. If you're stuck on a question, move on and return if time allows.

No. Once started, the timer runs continuously. Ensure you have a stable internet connection and uninterrupted time before beginning.
BCG provides a sample case on their website. Additionally, practicing standard case interviews builds the same underlying skills—structuring, data analysis, and synthesis.
Practice with AI-powered case simulations that build the skills tested by BCG Casey and live interviews.
