Excel - Process Score

Question

Hello!

Thanks for sharing. However, since McKinsey also grades us based on a “process-score”, how will shifting from my laptop screen to another monitor with the excel spreadsheet affect me? Can I do that? Thanks.

Hi Fahad,

Thanks for checking my article. In terms of your question:

Q: How will shifting from my laptop screen to another monitor with the excel spreadsheet affect me? Can I do that?

It is not clear how the game tracks clicks on other apps, so if available I would recommend using another computer for the Excel just in case.

Having said that, for what concerns the Excel solver included in my Solve Combo guide, I helped candidates who used it on the same computer and passed, so that should not be a problem.

You can find the Excel solver included for free in my guide at the link below:

Answer 2

Hi there,

Ideally you wouldn't do that.

It's unclear how they are tracking the actual process, so it would be best not to have the spreadsheet open.

In general, I recommend candidates to try and develop the skills necessary for these tests rather than trying to ‘game’ the game.

I know the competition is fiece, but realistically a candidate that is strong already for casing will also perform strong in the game even when they have no guide to rely on.

Best,
Cristian
