Do AI partner simulations prepare you for BCG final round grilling?

Preparing for BCG partner interviews, but my school’s alumni network has no actual BCG experience. These AI tools claiming to replicate senior partner styles – do they actually pressure-test you with curveball questions? Or are they just fancy chatbots? Need realistic practice before D-Day.

lol AI partners. Real BCG partners will shred you over coffee preferences from slide 17. No algorithm captures that level of petty. Better record yourself presenting to a brick wall for authentic experience.

tried one that pauses awkwardly like real partners do! made me explain my charts 4 different ways. scary accurate tbh

The stronger platforms incorporate actual case interview flow patterns – sudden context changes, rapid follow-ups. Use them to build mental flexibility, but supplement with human partners for tonal feedback.

Used PartnerSim during my prep. First run crashed when I asked about market sizing assumptions - turns out that’s exactly what happened in my real interview! Spooky but helpful.
