ZürichPosted Sep 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My experience began with the Bain Sova online test, which had four timed parts.

I found it challenging, particularly the pattern recognition section, which was the standout weakness for me. The time pressure made it hard to second-guess my instincts.

Because it was the earliest step, it set the tone for how demanding the process would be. Even after finishing, I didn’t feel fully confident about how I performed, especially on that pattern recognition task. It ended up reflecting the overall difficulty I sensed in the process.
