Bain online assessment: SOVA or TestGorilla?

Q: Which Bain online test will I get?

It depends on the office. Your invitation names the provider, Sova or TestGorilla, and the deadline.

Q: How long is the Bain online assessment?

Bain gives about 30 to 40 minutes as a planning estimate for either provider.

Question 1

Order terms

Teams (count)	Shared fixed fee ($/order)	Fabric per team (metres)	Price ($/metre)
3	63	18	4

Three teams share the fixed fabric-order fee equally. Each team pays for its own fabric. What is one team's total dollar cost for this order? Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.

$93.00
$135.00
$72.00
$45.00

Answer

Check the answer

Answer: A. $93.00

One team pays a third of the $63 fee, which is $21, plus 18 metres at $4, which is $72, so $93.00 in total. $72.00 leaves out the fee share, and $135.00 charges one team the whole fee.

Question 2

A distributor records 10,000 orders in January. Orders then fall by 20% in February and rise by 15% in March. Each monthly change is relative to the month before.

Monthly order changes

Month	Orders or change from the month before
January	10,000 orders
February	−20%
March	+15%
April target	10% above January

What percentage increase from March orders is needed in April to reach 10% more orders than January? Round your answer to one decimal place.

15.0%
19.6%
18.0%
37.5%

Answer

Check the answer

Answer: B. 19.6%

February is 8,000 orders and March is 9,200. The April target is 11,000, and 11,000 / 9,200 = 1.196, an increase of 19.6%. 37.5% measures from February instead of March, and 15.0% repeats March's change.
