I just took it. You can use whatever you have around (calculator is fine, for instance). I don't recommend using Excel, as the biggest pressure here was time.

Thanks Sarah - What was the structure like?

For example - Numerical 20 questions in 20mins? And for the verbal reasoning section, was it a body of text per question? Or a body of text every 2-4 questions. Thanks in advance :)

That's about right! I think you had >1 minute for each of the math questions and <1 for each of the verbal reasoning questions. You can expect for the verbal reasoning section to see 1-3 questions per text.

Thanks Sarah! One more question sorry - Do the times cross over or does one test stop then the second starts?

Nope. You can take a break if you want (I recommend)

You will not be able to use excel during the test - usually neither a calculator.

I think it's worth to practice with pan and paper to be fast with calculation.

I assume this is the test you can take at home - in which case, you can use whatever you want. 

If the test is conducted in the McKinsey office (not heard of McK doing this, but other companies yes), then you most likely will only have access to a basic calculator, pen and paper.

good luck!
