Does anyone have info on what the passing rates are for first round test at PwC, BCG, Bain, etc.Do you have to get all the question right, or just some percentage? I'm nem to this online testing business, and never took a GMAT. thanks for your input!

For most of the Big 4 your score needs to be within the score set by the top 50% candidates, which is quite doable.

I have never done these for a consulting firm; I can only speak about banks and blue-chip companies.You are compared to a peer group and scores are in percentiles. i.e. for graduate roles, you'll be compared to the benchmark set by all graduates who have taken the test. If they are recruiting a chartered accountant, your peer group is all CAs, etc. Then the firm normally sets a cut-off point, meaning you will not progress past the tests if you score below a given percentile.I imagine PWC would set this at about 60/70%, depending on the role (maybe even higher for Corp Finance/ Strategy). I wasn't aware the MBBs did these tests, but if they do, I suppose they'll only take 80% and above. All this is pure speculation, I've never worked for any of the firms in question.You'll find a lot of practice tests online. And that is important, you really should practise. The tests are not difficult -lower than GMAT standard-, but they are time-pressured. I recently took these tests and scored in the 99th percentile of chartered accountants for numerical reasoning. I am no maths genius and I didn't even finish the test. I simply prepared well (5 or 6 practice tests).Good luck!
