Sit the Bain online assessment before Bain sends it
Full simulators for both formats Bain screens with, SOVA and TestGorilla, timed and scored the way the real thing is, with a readiness score that tells you when you are ready.

Two formats. One of them is yours.
Bain sends SOVA in some offices and TestGorilla in others, and you only find out when the invitation lands. Tap a card to see the real interface, screen by screen.
SOVA has no single hard clock, which is exactly what catches people out: it logs how long you take on every question and weighs accuracy and speed together. The simulator runs all five sections end to end, times each question, and returns a percentile estimate with a section breakdown.
Situational judgement
Pick the most and least effective response, one screen at a time. Hover a row for the reasoning.
Numerical reasoning
Read the exhibit, do the step underneath it, move on. Hover a bar to read the value.
Logical reasoning
Find the rule in an abstract sequence under the same clock. Hover the missing cell.
Verbal reasoning
Judge a statement against a dense passage, no outside knowledge. Hover an option.
Results and review
A percentile estimate, a section breakdown with your median time, and every question replayed with the answer that scores. Hover a bar or a row.
Full result
Accuracy is where it needs to be. Numerical pace is the one thing still costing you, and it moves quickly with focused practice.
SOVA blends accuracy with the time you take per question, so rushing and stalling both cost you. The personality section is not pass or fail, but it is checked for consistency across related statements. The simulator scores every reasoning section, records your median time, and tells you whether accuracy or pace is the thing to fix first.
TestGorilla is the opposite problem to SOVA. Every section has its own hard clock of roughly ten minutes, questions come one at a time, and once a section is submitted it is gone. Candidates rarely fail it on difficulty. They fail it on pace, and on one misread chart label.
Four separate clocks
Each section is timed and submitted on its own. Hover a section to see its state.
Numerical reasoning
The answer is usually one step below the surface of the table. Hover a row for the catch.
Business judgement
Commercial scenarios where two options both look sensible. Hover to compare them.
Results and review
Score per section with time per question, plus the questions you left on the clock. Hover a bar.
Full result
Two questions ran out of clock in Critical Thinking. Banking the easy ones first is worth more here than getting the hard one right.
Bain does not publish a passing score, and the sections are short enough that two rushed questions move your percentage a long way. The simulator enforces the same per-section clocks and the same one-way flow, so you learn to bank the questions you can answer instead of sinking three minutes into the one you cannot.
Everything you need to be ready
Not a question bank. Working replicas of both assessments, so practice feels like the real screen.
Both formats, in full
SOVA and TestGorilla, each rebuilt section for section, so whichever invitation arrives you have already sat it.
Timing that behaves like the real thing
Hard section clocks on TestGorilla, per-question timing on SOVA. No untimed practice crutch.
Scoring you can act on
A percentile estimate plus a per-section breakdown, so you know whether it is numerical, verbal, or pace holding you back.
Progress analytics
Every attempt tracked. Score trends per assessment and a readiness score that climbs as you improve.
Fresh questions every run
Data and question sets rotate between attempts, so you build the skill instead of memorizing an answer key.
