S23E10: BCG Revamped the CCA – An Ex-BCG Consultant Breaks It Down
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
BCG quietly updated its Consulting Career Assessment (CCA) and most candidates approach it the wrong way.
In this episode, Katie – ex-BCG, Black Belt Advisor at Management Consulted – breaks down the revamped CCA across each section, so you know what to expect.
What most candidates miss: this isn't just a math test. BCG is measuring who you are and whether you are consistent in your answers.
You'll learn:
- Why consistency matters more than picking the "right" answer
- The elimination strategy that helps you move faster on problem-solving questions
- What appearing neutral or inconsistent signals to BCG — and why it's a red flag
Resources:
- Join Black Belt – includes 4 CCA practice versions + full interview prep coaching
- Book 15 minutes with Katie – talk through your support options and whether Black Belt is right for you
