[求助]consulting firm －wirtten test

水色

Consulting firm 的笔试基本多为problem solving test，类似几个小case，对阅读和数字的短时间反映能力比较高。请问XDJM有没有可推荐的网址或者资料呢？ 觉得很多时候是速度的问题，提前练习，熟悉了笔试时会好很多

非常非常感谢噢

Thank you. That is good info.

Just did it and got 5 wrong Mostly because I read the question wrong. I think the questions themselves are not hard at all, just need to be really carefully reading the info. and the questions.

getting 5 wrong is not too bad. I heard someone got only 3 correct in the practise, but scored about 70% in the real test...

Really? Hopefully the real questions don't use completely different logic from the practise.

The pratise questions are somehow close to GMAT logic question, I feel.

Can anyone who had real test before tell us how they think about the real questions? How different are they from the pratise?

Thank you in advance.

Yeah, someone told me that the difficulty level of the real test is pretty much the same as GMAT. A lot of people said the real test is harder than the practise test though. I have not got any personal experience on the real test, hopefully I will get a chance to try the real test out.~~

Thank you so much for the info. Hope one day we all have the chance to try the real test

Is the written test part of the 1st round interview or later rounds?

Thank you so much for the info. I am in north america and trying to apply for APD. I have a ph.d and have worked for 4 years.

If APD doesn't work, i will go for MBA first. I have taken the GMAT, but not sure if I should spend 2-3 years in school. Getting old
